Helaman 3 Wax Stronger


Mormon tells us that many people began moving and settling to the north.  They used cement to build since the timber was scarce.  They were careful to let the few trees grow up.  Helaman’s sons, Nephi and Lehi “…began to grow up unto the Lord.”  The Gadianton’s continued in secret.  The church prospered and there were thousands of converts.  “Thus we may see,” says Mormon, “that the Lord is merciful unto all who will, in the sincerity of their hearts, call upon his holy name. Yea, thus we see that the gate of heaven is open unto all, even to those who will believe on the name of Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God…they did fast and pray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in their humility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation, yea, even to the purifying and the sanctification of their hearts, which sanctification cometh because of their yielding their hearts unto God.”
