Ep. 204: Alma 30:43-60 Seek a Sign and See what happens

My Scripture Streak

Summary

In this episode, Jeffery Downs continues his study of Alma chapter 30 and focuses on Korihor's response to Alma. Korihor asks for a sign to be convinced of the existence of God, but Alma reminds him that he has already had enough signs and that the scriptures and the earth itself testify of God's existence. Korihor persists in his disbelief and is struck dumb by Alma. Despite this, Korihor does not repent and goes back to the people who accepted him before. He is eventually run over and killed by the Zoramites. The key takeaways from this chapter include the importance of resisting the spirit of truth, the fact that seeing does not always lead to belief, and the need to bind up and throw away things that lead us away from God.

Takeaways

• Resist the spirit of truth and accept the truth
• Seeing does not always lead to belief
• Repentance is a choice that requires a change of heart
• Bind up and throw away things that lead us away from God
