We Testify Of Christ: August 2012

Comfort Others In Christ

O Lord, wilt thou comfort my soul,
and give unto me success,
and also my fellow laborers who are with me
wilt thou comfort, O Lord.

Yea, wilt thou comfort their souls in Christ.
(Alma 31:32)

Jesus Is Our Comfort

O Lord, my heart is exceedingly sorrowful;
wilt thou comfort my soul in Christ.
(Alma 31:31)

All Things Testify Of Christ

Will ye deny again that there is a God,
and also deny the Christ?

For behold, I say unto you,
I know there is a God,
and also that Christ shall come.

And now what evidence have ye

that there is no God, or that Christ cometh not?

I say unto you that ye have none,

save it be your word only.

But, behold, I have all things as a testimony
that these things are true;
and ye also have all things as a testimony
unto you that they are true.
(Alma 30:39-41)

Pervert Not The Ways Of Christ

And it came to pass that the high priest said unto him:
Why do ye go about perverting the ways of the Lord?

Why do ye teach this people that there
shall be no Christ, to interrupt their rejoicings?

Why do ye speak against
all the prophecies of the holy prophets?
(Alma 30:22)

Choose Jesus Christ

And thus we see the great call of diligence
of men to labor in the vineyards of the Lord;
and thus we see the great reason of sorrow, and also of rejoicing—
sorrow because of death and destruction among men,
and joy because of the light of Christ unto life.
(Alma 28:14)

Redeemer Of All

And now may the Lord,
the Redeemer of all men,
bless their souls forever.
(Alma 28:8)

Christ Has Won The Victory

And they never did look upon death
with any degree of terror,
for their hope and views of Christ
and the resurrection; therefore,
death was swallowed up to them
by the victory of Christ over it.
(Alma 27:28)

True Christians

The people who were of the church of God
were also distinguished for their
zeal towards God, and also towards men;
for they were perfectly honest and upright in all things;
and they were firm in the faith of Christ, even unto the end.
(Alma 27:27)

Retaining Hope Through Faith In Christ

Now they did not suppose that salvation
came by the law of Moses; but the law of Moses
did serve to strengthen their faith in Christ;
and thus they did retain a hope through faith,
unto eternal salvation, relying upon
the spirit of prophecy, which spake of
those things to come.
(Alma 25:16)

The Law Points To Christ

But notwithstanding the law of Moses,
they did look forward to the coming of Christ,
considering that the law of Moses
was a type of his coming, and believing
that they must keep those outward performances
until the time that he should be revealed unto them.
(Alma 25:15)

Through The Blood Of Christ

Perhaps, if we should stain our swords again
they can no more be washed bright through
the blood of the Son of our great God,
which shall be shed for the atonement of our sins.
(Alma 24:13)

We Are Cleansed Through Christ

I also thank my God, yea, my great God,
that he hath granted unto us that we might repent of these things,
and also that he hath forgiven us of those our many
sins and murders which we have committed,
and taken away the guilt from our hearts,
through the merits of his Son.
(Alma 24:10)

Redemption Through Christ's Atonement

Since man had fallen he could not merit anything of himself;
but the sufferings and death of Christ atone for their sins,
through faith and repentance, and so forth;
and that he breaketh the bands of death,
that the grave shall have no victory,
and that the sting of death should be
swallowed up in the hopes of glory.
(Alma 22:14)

Christ's Plan Of Redemption

Aaron did expound unto him the scriptures
from the creation of Adam,
laying the fall of man before him,
and their carnal state and also the plan of redemption,
which was prepared from the foundation of the world,
through Christ, for all whosoever
would believe on his name.
(Alma 22:13)

Only In And Through Christ

Now Aaron began to open the scriptures unto them
concerning the coming of Christ,
and also concerning the resurrection of the dead,
and that there could be no redemption for mankind
save it were through the death and sufferings
of Christ, and the atonement of his blood.
(Alma 21:9)
