Mosiah 6




What kept contention away from King Benjamin’s people after he died and his son, Mosiah, became king?  And can we do the same to keep contention from our lives? Verses 6 and 7 describe it.  
  1. Mosiah walked in the ways of the Lord – he first had to know those ways.
  2. He observed the Lord’s judgments and statutes – he used sacred laws and punishments as a basis for secular laws and punishments.
  3. Mosiah kept the Lord’s commandments “in all things whatsoever he commanded him” – the greater degree with which we are able to do this, the greater the peace in our lives.
  4. He pulled his weight “that he might not become burdensome” – he worked his own support rather than tax the people to pay for his needs.
