Mosiah 4



In the incredible speech that King Benjamin gave his people shortly before his death he taught us not only how to obtain a remission of our sins, but also how to retain a remission of our sins.  In verses 9 and 10, King Benjamin teaches us that through faith we receive a remission of our sins.  In the New Testament, how many times did Jesus say “thy faith hath made thee whole” or “thy faith hath saved thee?”  He said it quite often during His mortal ministry.  To retain a remission of sins, as King Benjamin taught us, requires humility.  See verses 11, 12 and 26.  Finally, in verses 13 – 16 he teaches us how redeemed people treat each other.  I love how practical the Book of Mormon is!
