Come Unto Christ

"And thou didst hear me because of mine afflictions and my sincerity; 

and it is because of thy Son that thou hast been thus merciful unto me, therefore I will cry unto thee in all mine afflictions, 

for in thee is my joy; 

for thou hast turned thy judgments away from me, 

because of thy Son. 

Begin to believe in the Son of God, 

that he will come to redeem his people, 

and that he shall suffer and die to atone for their sins; 

and that he shall rise again from the dead, 

which shall bring to pass the resurrection, 

that all men shall stand before him, 

to be judged at the last and judgment day, according to their works.

And now, my brethren, I desire that ye shall 

plant this word in your hearts, 

and as it beginneth to swell even so 

nourish it by your faith. 

And behold, it will become a tree, 

springing up in you unto everlasting life. 

And then may God grant unto you that your burdens may be light, 

through the joy of his Son."

– Alma 33: 11, 22-23
