Jacob 4:12 And now, beloved, marvel not that I tell you these things; for why not speak of the atonement of Christ, and attain to a perfect knowledge of him, as to attain to the knowledge of a resurrection and the world to come?
Footnote for SPEAK : 2 Ne 25:26 And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins.
*By seeking to attain that perfect knowledge of Him, we bring ourselves so much closer to Him., and we sincerely start to walk His path.
**Today was a catch up day, and I got to catch up to the end of Jacob 4. (Which is good cuz Jacob 5 is a monster.) But I absolutely love the insights I'm getting while reading. I'm underlining all sorts of phrases that stick out. I've read the BOM a few times before but I handled it more as a chore than a challenge. I put this 100 day challenge upon myself. (I do have it on my 101 in 1001, but that's not completely why I did it.) I have been wanting to strengthen my testimony, I've felt it waning a bit lately and I felt I needed to boost it up. I have been getting excited to read my scriptures, which has never really happened for me, and even when I'm really tired I'll finish the challenge for the day. (Last night was an exception, Husband and I agreed, family before reading because I can always take time and read but my family is always moving.) I love that I'm reading with a purpose. And I'm excited as I look deeper. :)
