Chapter 7


The story of Zeniff going back to the land of Nephi-Lehi, his son Noah’s wicked reign, and Noah’s son, Limhi’s bondage to the Lamanites, provides the backdrop for this wonderful admonition from Limhi to his people after they have been found by a group from Zarahemla led by Ammon:  “But if ye will turn to the Lord with full purpose of heart, and put your trust in him, and serve him with all diligence of mind, if ye do this, he will, according to his own will and pleasure, deliver you out of bondage.”  We can liken this to ourselves.  When we are in bondage due to sin, we can escape by turning to the Lord and repenting of our sins.  The arrival of Ammon gives King Limhi hope.  Our missionaries provide this hope to the world by bringing the message of Hope in Christ.
