Episode notes

In his prayer, it's a wonderful little moment because when he starts his prayer, in Alma 31, he's like, how can we behold such gross wickedness? And then at the end of the prayer, he says, behold, oh Lord, their souls are precious. And many of them are our brethren. I like the way that prayer seems to soften. It reminds me of the parable of the Pharisee and the publican. Here's this Pharisee. He feels like he's earned his reward. He's earned God's love. Exactly. In which case he's cut himself off from it. Let's take a look at Romans 5 for a second.

How does the experience of being a sinner affect the experience of being saved by Jesus? Dr. Adam Miller discusses why faith is crucial to our experience of redemption.
