15. Come Unto Christ

I think we can all learn from the example Enos set. He was heavy with sin and he heeded his father, Jacob’s counsel to repent. But Enos didn’t just ask the Lord for forgiveness, he said, “my soul hungered; and I kneeled down before my Maker, and I cried unto him in mighty prayer and supplication for mine own soul…” (Enos 1:4). When I think of hunger I think of my stomach being empty and in great need of food. Relating that concept to the gospel, a hungry soul is one that has sinned and is missing the peace of the Lord and our soul yearns to be feed with the spirit again! We learn from Enos that through faith in Christ and diligence we can receive a remission for our sins and our guilt swept away. In verse 15, Enos teaches that, “whatsoever thing ye shall ask in faith, believing that ye shall receive in the name of Christ, ye shall receive it” (Enos 1:15). Enos asked with sincerity for forgiveness and received it just as we can. Another thing that we must do to return to live with our Father in Heaven is what Amaleki invited us to do, “to come unto Christ…” (Omni 1:26). If we come unto Christ and seek a remission for our sins, we can be found worthy to return to live with our Father in Heaven.
