We Have Entered into a Covenant with Him
The account of Alma and his people in Mosiah 18; 23–24 shows what it means to “come into the fold of God” (Mosiah 18:8). When they were baptized, they made a covenant with God to “serve him and keep his commandments” (Mosiah 18:10). While this was an intensely personal commitment, it also had to do with how they treated one another. Yes, the journey back to Heavenly Father is personal and individual, and no one can keep our covenants for us, but that doesn’t mean we are alone. We need each other. As members of Christ’s eChurch, we covenant to serve God by helping and serving one another along the way, “bear[ing] one another’s burdens” (Mosiah 18:8–10). Alma’s people definitely had burdens to bear, just as we all do. And one way the Lord helps us “bear up [our] burdens with ease” (Mosiah 24:15) is by giving us a community of Saints who have promised to mourn with us and comfort us, just as we have promised to do for them.

I LOVE these episodes! I think they are my favorite next to the Book of Mormon one! People are amazing! Not only in how they serve but in how they can endure trials. We really are so much better together. We can’t make it through this life without each other! Thank you for these two episodes! Love them!
These two podcasts were amazing and so touching to me. I needed to hear these stories. I can’t believe the experiences these people have been through. I’m grateful for the time you took to do this episode. I’m sure I’ll listen to these two episodes again and pass these on to my friends. You are so amazing and I’m so happy for you and this new chapter in your life. You are truly a bright light to me each week when I listen to your podcast! Thank you!
