- In each story, the
available food was insufficient to feed the multitude, yet with the help
of the Lord the insufficiency was overcome. Read Romans 3:23 and explain
in writing another way human effort is insufficient in receiving the glory
of God. According to Ether 12:27, how does the Lord help us overcome this
insufficiency?
Romans 3:23
23 For
all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God;
Without the atonement glory can
not be ours, we all have sinned and must repent and accept the gospel. We will always be shot in glory with out the
help of God.
Ether 12:27
27 And
if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness.
I give unto men weakness that they may be
humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves
before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then
will I make weak things become strong unto them.
If we can find humility in
ourselves and ask the Lord our weakness (sin) his grace (atonement) and our
faith in Him we will be made strong and new by the promise of repentance and
forgivenss.
