How do we look to Christ and live? Alma had the answer. Referencing the plague of serpents, he instructed his son Helaman to teach the people that the scriptures would immediately bring them to Christ. To look upon the scriptures is as powerful as to look upon the brass serpent! In this “easy” way, said Alma, we look to Christ; through the scriptures we come unto Christ for healing.
For behold, it is as easy to give heed to the word of Christ [the scriptures], which will point to you a straight course to eternal bliss….the words of Christ [the scriptures], if we follow their course, carry us beyond this vale of sorrow into a far better land of promise.
O my son, do not let us be slothful because of the easiness of the way; for so was it with our fathers; for so was it prepared for them, that if they would look they might live; even so it is with us. The way is prepared, and if we will look we may live forever.
And now, my son, see that ye take care of these sacred things [the scriptures], yea, see that ye look to God and live.[x]Share
