ether 9: 23 - 35
why do you suppose that even after periods of righteousness the jaredite civilization kept falling prey to secret combinations? how can we apply these verses to our lives?
--> no matter who you are, you are tempted. we all fall victim to temptation and sin during our lives. if we are not constantly doing those things that would fortify us, and keep our foundation unwaveringly rooted in the Lord and His teachings and lifestyle, we will fall too. the pride cycle is so prevalent in the book of mormon. sometimes we read this and think how dumb the people were to sin after they had seen so many miracles, but we could say the same about ourselves. that's exactly why repentance is in place - we need second chances, and the Lord is graciously willing to give them. "God be thanked for the matchless gift of His divine Son!"
