 In my Book of Mormon class this past week, my professor discussed the scripture Alma 46:12 which says, “And it came to pass that he rent his coat; and he took a piece thereof, and wrote upon it – In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children – and he fastened it upon the end of a pole.” This scripture is the title of liberty (or as our teacher called it – the title of agency). In our discussion of this passage, he brought to light an aspect which I had never thought of before. He said that the order in which each thing came on the list was significant. Without remembering first and foremost God we could not have religion, and without religion, we could not have freedom, and without freedom, there would be no peace, and without peace, the relationships with our family would not survive. Overall, we must put God first in our lives, above all else, and as we remember him in all things, everything else will fall into place. We will continue to grow closer to Him, His Son, and His other children. We will see our hearts softened and our minds increase in understanding. The blessings that God promises will continue to be poured out upon us.
