God distinguishes between unintentional errors (sinning in ignorance) and intentional ones (sinning against light and knowledge). He can help us overcome both, but the repentance process may be different when we need to change our desires and motives.
Retain the Name
Benjamin invited his people to take upon themselves the name of Christ after they had been spiritually reborn and had made a covenant with God. What more did they need to do? They needed to engage in the relationship. Relationships require effort. They are not static.
His Name
An angel taught King Benjamin that we are saved through faith in the Savior's name. Why His name? Because names represent our essence, and the way we treat people's names reflects our relationship with them.
Overcoming the Natural Man
Paul taught that the natural man doesn't understand the things of God. King Benjamin added that the natural man is an enemy to God. He taught that God can help us not only understand spiritual things, but also to become holy.
Christmas, Easter, and the Book of Mormon
The birth of Jesus Christ and His death and resurrection are prominently featured in the Book of Mormon. Christmas is important because of Easter. President Nelson taught that Easter is the most important religious observance for followers of Christ.
The Root and the Offspring
Jesus was a descendant of King David, but was also his progenitor, the source of his life and spiritual strength. Jesus highlighted these contrasting roles of Creator who lived among us by calling Himself "the root and the offspring of David."
Divine Nature
Peter testified that God is willing to share His nature with us, helping us overcome the corrupting inflluences of the world. In truth, we all have a divine nature, in the sense that we are children of God with a potential to become like Him.
Without the Camp
When sacrifices were performed in ancient Israel, the bodies of the animals were burned "without the camp." Jesus was similarly crucified outside of the walls of Jerusalem. We must meet Him there: outside of our comfort zone and our usual social circles.
Perfected Through Suffering
The book of Hebrews tells us that Jesus was made perfect through suffering. How can a Being who was already flawless and divine become perfect? I don't fully understand, but I do believe that our suffering is helping us become more complete.
Every Knee, Every Tongue
In his epistle to the Philippians, Paul writes poetically about the Savior's humility as evidenced by His willingness to descend from heaven and dwell with us. We honor Him not only because He created this world but also because He loved us.
