Alma 37: 33
Preach unto them repentance,
and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ;
teach them to humble themselves and to be meek and lowly in heart;
teach them to withstand every temptation of the devil,
Withstand every temptation: pay them no heed. Don’t decide to let even the little things slide past because “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much”(Luke 16: 10). It feels wonderful when you avoid even little temptations: it’s like saying to the Lord “I know this looks to me like it wouldn’t make any difference, but if you prefer that I not, I won’t.” It tells Him that we are willing to follow His “whims”, and rightly so: they are not whims, but small things that will be made great. Part of the faith on the Lord Jesus Christ that proceeds from that experience is believing that Christ will not be content to have a dominating relationship with you. His purpose is to help you grow into an independently righteous person: not to police/ control behavior in His universe. He wants an even relationship with you, where you propose possibilities as well as He (D&C 58: 27).
with their faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.
