(Below is a list of questions and quotes that help me think about each verse as I read it. The numbers represent the verses in the chapter.)
1. Why is it important to be recorded as a covenant maker? How much more important is it to be recorded as a covenant keeper?
2. When you fully understand the blessing covenants can be in your life, will you ever deny an opportunity to make and keep covenants with your father in heaven? How can you strengthen your commitment to keep your covenant with God?
3. What did King Benjamin do to help his people remember the covenants they had made?
"If we pay close attention to the uses of the word remember in the holy scriptures, we will recognize that remembering in the way God intends is a fundamental and saving principle of the gospel. This is so because prophetic admonitions to remember are frequently calls to action: to listen, to see, to do, to obey, to repent. When we remember in God’s way, we overcome our human tendency simply to gird for the battle of life and actually engage in the battle itself, doing all in our power to resist temptation and avoid sinning." - Marlin K Jensen, GC, April 2007
4. Who began to rain following King Benjamin?
6-7. What kind of King was Mosiah? How do you know? What would be different in your day if King Mosiah ruled your land? What are some traits that Mosiah possessed that you should try to emulate in your family? How with these traits help you have more peace in your family?
