Mosiah 17

The more tired I am and the later I get in bed, the less scriptures I muscle test that I need to read. Tonight was a one-off. My cousin is here and we stayed up late working on energy things and clearing lots of emotional stuff. But that's not the point of this blog...

20 And now, when Abinadi had said these words, he fell, having suffered death by fire; yea, having been put to death because he would not deny the commandments of God, having sealed the truth of his words by his death.

I was just reading in this chapter and thinking, as I do often about scriptures like this, it sounds like it could be about the end times, our days. This is more pertaining the the few verses that come before this one. About this one, I wondered if I would ever have to seal the truth of my words in such a dramatic fashion. I hope not. Do I have the faith to die for what I believe in? I don't know. I hope I would, but that is a scary thing to face.

that is scary however I had a bishop who said that it is harder to live for the gospel then it is to die for the gospel.
