Alma 1

(September 13, 2014)

                Is there a better promise than the one that is in this chapter – that we may experience continual peace again, notwithstanding all persecutions.  The righteous – those who became truly converted to the Lord – found that their temporal situations were no better (if anything they became worse).  But while they didn’t find temporal peace, they instead found real and lasting and continual peace again, because that is something that cannot be taken from us when we are converted to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  In times of adversity and trials, I have likewise found that peace and know just how significant of a blessing that it is.
