ALMA 38:9

"AND NOW, MY SON, I HAVE TOLD YOU THIS THAT YE MAY LEARN WISDOM, THAT YE MAY LEARN OF ME THAT THERE IS NO OTHER WAY OR MEANS WHEREBY MAN CAN BE SAVED, ONLY IN AND THROUGH CHRIST. BEHOLD, HE IS THE LIFE AND THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. BEHOLD, HE IS THE WORD OF TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS."

This is interesting to me in light of a recent lecture I just watched concerning christians and mormons and if mormons are saved by the grace of christ. Here Alma testifies of that very truth, yes, right here in the Book of Mormon a prophet of God testifies that it is not by ourselves and our works that we are saved or by any other means. We are saved by the atoning sacrifice of our Lord and our Savior Jesus Christ.

ALMA 38:5

Alma 38:5
"...as much as ye shall put your trust in God EVEN so much ye shall be delivered out of your trials, and your troubles, and your afflictions, and ye shall be lifted up at the last day."

I like this because it tells me that the measure of my trust in God is the measure of my peace. If I, through prayer and meditation, first thing in the day, can "let go" of my troubles and turn them over to God through trust, then am I delivered to a day of peace and progress. Do the best I can, do all I am capable of, and turn the rest over to my trust that God will do the rest, the part I have no control over. LET GO AND TRUST
