Mosiah 17 Live for God

Alma was converted by Abinadi and tried to stand up for him when King Noah ordered that he be put to death. But Noah didn’t listen and ordered his servants to go after Alma and put him to death as well. Alma escaped and went into hiding. Abinadi convinced the king to release him but the wicked priests intervened and provoked the king to carry out the sentence. Abinadi, as he was dying by fire, proclaimed that a similar fate awaited his executioners. What I learn from this chapter is that when we have given our hearts to God, we become willing to die for Him. However, in most cases, I think God wants us to live for Him and do His will, living long, productive and happy lives.
