Alma 22 Is There a God? Inspired Questions


Aaron and his brethren are guided by the Spirit to the palace of the king over all the Lamanites.  He is ready to hear the gospel and asks several inspired questions.
1.       What is this that ye have said concerning the Spirit of the Lord?
2.       What is this that Ammon said—If ye will repent ye shall be saved, and if ye will not repent, ye shall be cast off at the last day?
3.       Is that the Great Spirit that brought our fathers out of the land of Jerusalem?
4.       What shall I do that I may have this eternal life of which thou hast spoken?
5.       Yea, what shall I do that I may be born of God, having this wicked spirit rooted out of my breast, and receive his Spirit, that I may be filled with joy, that I may not be cast off at the last day?
6.       O God, Aaron hath told me that there is a God; and if there is a God, and if thou art God, wilt thou make thyself known unto me? 
This last question has really resonated in my soul.  Many times I have prayed saying similar words.  I have come to know, without any doubt, that he is there; he has manifested himself to me daily in simple and undeniable ways.  His voice is a still, small voice that I have heard many, many times through his Spirit.  And he has taken away my sins.  I long for all of my family to ask the questions above in there own way according to their needs and station in life.  I love you all so much.  (Look at page 100 in the Book of Mormon—easy to remember—verse 26.)
