“If you teach the law of Moses why do ye not keep it?”

Abinadi called Noah’s priests out.

They knew the scriptures. They knew the commandments.

But they were still lazy and rude and evil.

Their knowledge didn’t change them.

Abinadi had the same knowledge of the scriptures and the law.

But he used that knowledge to open a channel of communication with the Lord, receive the personal revelation that he needed to preach repentance (twice!), and then followed through on the promptings.

Our knowledge can’t save us.

Knowing the scripture stories won’t save us.

Knowing the doctrine won’t save us.

Our actions will.

Studying the scriptures and then using that knowledge to change our actions.

Learning and connecting with the doctrine and then using that to propel us to become more Christlike.

King Noah, his priests, and Abinadi all had the same knowledge.

But their hearts were in completely different states.

Happy Studying!
