Again in verse 11 of Chapter 2, Jacob says "Wherefore, I must tell you the truth according to the plainness of the word of God." I felt like a lot of Conference today was just back to basics. Do these easy things, and you'll be fine! At least be striving for something! Work towards something. It's sad that in most of these Chapters, things are kind of falling apart. Everyone is sinning like crazy and Jacob and Joseph are trying desperately to call them to repentance. Much like today I feel.
Chapter 4 verse 6 "Wherefore, we search the prophets, and we have man revelations and the spirit of prophecy; and having all these witnesses, we obtain a hope and our faith becometh unshaken, insomuch that we truly can command the name of Jesus and the very trees obey us, or the mountains, or the waves of the sea". How cool to have that kind of faith?? I know I obviously do not have that, but it's a good thing to work towards. And we do have all these witnesses today, modern prophets and apostles, our church leaders, conference, the scriptures, to show us the way to gain this faith, and strengthen it daily. Hope is a requirement of faith.. or is it faith is a requirement of hope. They are almost the same thing, but you can't have one without the other.
