"I will give away all my sins to know thee." Alma 22:18
One of the most powerful verse within the Book of Mormon. As I read the Book of Mormon for the first time I came upon this scripture that moved me in a way that I have never been moved before. It spoke to my soul and helped me to see the life I lived and the life I could live or should live. Behind this scripture lies an extraordinary story of King Lamoni's father being taught by missionaries. He never believed in God and this was his first prayer to God.
This man was not righteous at all, his ways were far from God but he said that he would give away all he had-his whole kingdom to come to know God and Jesus Christ. He was so desireous and willing to come unto them that he would give away all his sins. I have asked my self many times what would I give away to know God. What would you give away to know God?
