Recently, I have been reading the book: The Miracle of Forgiveness, by President Spencer W. Kimball. I am loving this book so far because of the wisdom that he shares with everyone of the great blessing of The Atonement. It is so true! The Lord is there for us, even if we don't realize it. He says: "If heeded, this member of the Godhead will guide, inspire, and warn, and will neutralize the promptings of the evil one" (D&C 84:64). I wish I could just quote this whole book it is so good. President Kimball also warns the daners of delaying repentance from the words of Melvin J. Ballard. "It is much easier to overcome and serve the Lord when both flesh and spirit are combined as one. . .every man and woman who is putting off until the next life the task of correcting and overcoming the weaknesses of the flesh are sentencing themselves to years of bondage."Kimball ends the chapter by giving us a tip, "The time to quit evil ways is before they start." And I agree with that statement, along with all of the quotes above. And his whole book. I am learning a lot. I hope that all of us may repent quickly in this life so we can escape the "years of bondage" that could lie ahead fo us. I know that Jesus Christ died on the cross for each and every one of us. And that He loves us dearly and wants us to return to Him again. And I say these things in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.
P.S. Here are some additional, GREAT scriptural references that Kimball pointed out:
- Helaman 13:38
- Mosiah 2:38
- Alma 34:31-34
- D&C 132:20
