I have reached a lot of really cool insights in my scripture study this week. I'm so very grateful we have the spirit to give us insight, it brings me much Joy. :)
2 Neph 9:25: "the mercies of the Holy One of Israel have claim upon [us]." We are in debt to the law, because we all have sinned. Christ and His Atonement payed the price for us, and that's very much the same as buying us out of captivity or slavery. We are now His servants, and must begin to repay the debt through doing His will. I say "begin" because we cannot ever fully repay it. when we do His will, He blesses us even more, leaving us forever in His debt, which He is more than willing to do. We talked about this is Gospel Doctrine a little while ago, and it's cool to be able to pick out again throughout scripture.
2 Neph 9:51-52: "Hearken diligently unto me, and remember the words which I have spoken; and come unto the Holy One of Israel, and feast upon that which perisheth not, neither can be corrupted, and *let your soul delight in fatness*" I take from this to focus on the important things. God gives us an unlimited supply of the joy of the Gospel to feast on, and we should take advantage of it and let our souls delight in fatness. :)
2 Neph 10: 2: "That which will give them true knowledge" We don't always have *immediate* knowledge, but the Lord gives us that which will GIVE us knowledge, after application of Faith.
2 Neph 10:20 "We have been led to a better land" Because we came to this earth, the Land of our Eternity will be that much better. :)
2 Neph 19:4 : "But His hand is stretched out still." Even after we have discouraged Him by making mistakes, He is REACHING out for us. This is AMAZING to me.
Again, I'm very very grateful I've been learning so much about how to receive insight from the spirit. The Gospel is true!
