Episode notes

King Benjamin emphasizes the importance of making a covenant with God as a way to commit to daily repentance and reconcile ourselves to Him. It's not about relying solely on grace or the covenant alone, but both working together. Through baptism and other covenants, we publicly bind ourselves to continually return to God, stop running away, and embrace His work in our lives. This ongoing process ensures that we remain filled with God's love and receive a remission of our sins.

Dr. Joseph Spencer continues to explore the themes of surrendering to grace, the need for broken hearts, and the power of covenants with Jesus Christ.
