This week in Book of Mormon, we focused a lot on Alma chapters 35 and 36. When I read through these chapters on my own, nothing much stood out to me, but when reading through them as a class, Brother Griffin pointed out so many strong passages that taught about repentance and forgivness. Because Alma had a first hand experience with a change of heart, he is an excellent person to learn from. Alma spent his teen (or what we would assume to be teen) years as what we would call a trouble child. He taught false doctrine and tried to lead others away from the gospel. It wasn't until he was visited by an angel that he had a change of heart and corrected his mistakes in order to become a prophet. Chapters 35 and 36 talk a lot about the differences between when he was on the path of distruction and when he was on the path of righteousness. I wrote down five awesome quotes in my scriputures that I want to share.
1. Misery likes company
2. You can't do wrong and feel right.
3. When Satan reminds you about your past, remind him about his future.
4. You can't come to Christ perfect. Come to Christ as you are, and ask his help to be perfect.
5. The church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.
At the end of class we also watched this video. I suggest it to anyone who is struggling to forget about things that have happened in the past.
