Helaman 3





In verses 29 and 30 of this chapter we’re taught by Mormon that the word of God can lead the man of Christ to dwell with God in the kingdom of heaven.  I think verse 35 gives us an idea of what is required to become a man – or a woman, or a child – of Christ.  In addition to scripture study, we see that humility is required.  That apparently is developed through coupling fasting with prayer, which increases faith, fills one’s soul with joy and consolation, and purifies and sanctifies one’s heart.  Look for one whose faith gives them joy, and you may have found a man, or woman, or child of Christ.  Let us allow prayer and fasting to strengthen our humility and faith so that we may find joy and solace from the Savior of mankind.
