I
found an interesting verse in my scripture study today: 2 Nephi 31:16
“ And now, my beloved brethren, I know by this that unless a man
shall endure to the end, in following the example of the Son of the living God, he
cannot be saved.”
So,
I have to ask myself, what it the example of the Savior? This reminds me
of another scripture in 1 Nephi 19:9 which says,
“And the world, because of their iniquity, shall judge him to be
a thing of naught; wherefore they scourge him, and he suffereth it; and they
smite him, and he suffereth it. Yea, they spit upon him, and he suffereth it, because
of his loving kindness and his long-suffering towards the children of men.”
So,
all I can do is strive to be more like the Savior. It make life
easy. Did you know that? Life becomes easy. I am reminded of
another scripture, Alma 37:46,
“O my son, do not let us be slothful because of the easiness of the way”.
Why
is living the gospel and following the Son easy? Well, I suppose it isn’t
easy for the natural man that is full of wicked traditions. But, why is
the way easy? This reminds me of the words of Hymn, page 125, last verse,
“I’ll drop my burden at his feet And bear a song away.”
And,
“Come, cast your burdens on the Lord And trust his constant
care” (first verse)
The
whole hymn speaks for life being easy in the Lord.
As
I learn to do this, I my faith becomes strong.
