Come, Follow Me

with

Converted Unto the Lord

Reinforces this week’s “Come Follow Me” study: Alma 23-29
They “Never Did Fall Away”

Scripture:

Alma 23:6

6 And as sure as the Lord liveth, so sure as many as believed, or as many as were brought to the knowledge of the truth, through the preaching of Ammon and his brethren, according to the spirit of revelation and of prophecy, and the power of God working miracles in them—yea, I say unto you, as the Lord liveth, as many of the Lamanites as believed in their preaching, and were converted unto the Lord, never did fall away.

Song:

The Church of Jesus Christ Children’s Songbook page 77

Lesson:

After Ammon had taught King Lamoni and his father, Ammon and his brothers were allowed to preach throughout the land of the Lamanites. Many Lamanites accepted the gospel and repented. The Lamanites that were converted to the gospel wanted a new name to distinguish themselves from the rest of the Lamanites. They took the name of Anti-Nephi-Lehies. These devoted converts were so dedicated to never returning to their old ways that they buried their weapons of war. They vowed to never use them again, not even in self-defense. 

Ammon was overjoyed that so many Lamanites had become converted to the Lord. He praised God, recognizing God’s hand in all the blessings he’d experienced during his time as a missionary. 

Quote:

“A testimony is spiritual knowledge of truth obtained by the power of the Holy Ghost. Continuing conversion is constant devotion to the revealed truth we have received—with a heart that is willing and for righteous reasons. Knowing that the gospel is true is the essence of a testimony. Consistently being true to the gospel is the essence of conversion. We should know the gospel is true and be true to the gospel.” David A. Bednar
