Healed by the Power of the Lamb of God, 1 Nephi 11:31

1 Nephi 11:31

I've followed the footnote at the end of the verse this evening for the word "healed".
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
(Malachi 4:2)

This is the reason why we need not be subjected to crass media or any form of objectionable content. Because we can be healed by the power of the Lamb of God, why should we create new wounds?

Jesus said to the woman with an issue of blood, "Daughter, be of good comfort, thy faith hath made thee whole,"(Matt 9:22).
And when the men of that place had a knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;

And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole, (Matt 14:35-36).
He healed the ruler's daughter (see Mark 5:35-43). He healed the two blind men in their home as he was passing by (see Matt 9:27-30). "[He] healed them all," (Luke 6:19).

I've assembled this simple collection of verses and have read several others this evening. I've experienced a sublime sense of wonder and admiration as I have done so. I believe in this Christ who had power to heal everyone that believed on His name. This is the Christ and He is the healer of my soul, too.

"A Space Between Death and the Resurrection," Alma 40:15-21

Alma 40:15-21 https://www.lds.org/scriptures/tg/resurrection?lang=eng The New Testament, after the Resurrection of Christ, is replete with testimony by the apostles of the reality of that very thing. I took a pause from this study to reflect over in John 6 . At least twice within that passage, the phrase "the resurrection of the just" had been added back into the passage in the Joseph Smith Translation. No man can come unto me, except he doeth the will of my Father who hath sent me. And this is the will of him who hath sent me, that ye receive the Son; for the Father beareth record of him; and he who receiveth the testimony, and doeth the will of him who sent me, I will raise up in the resurrection of the just. ( JST - John 6:44 ) Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up in the resurrection of the just at the last day. ( John 6:54 ) Why, among other doctrines, does the adversary or the world want to suppress...

"The State of the Soul Between Death and the Resurrection," Alma 40:11-14

Alma 40:11-14 Deep consideration of the realities articulated in these verses has brought a very strong spiritual confirmation to me this morning. This doctrine is familiar to me, both because of the numerous times that I have studied these verses before, but also because of the eternal realities that cause my soul to resonate with the Spirit of the Lord. Verse 11 , which I learned and memorized as a youth, especially rings deep and true. We are taken back to God after this amazing and terrible* mortal experience. And then there is a separation between wicked and righteous. In a realm dominated by the Light, there is a separation. It is also curious to note how the same Being, God, can induce such dramatically different responses in individuals based upon their choices. *I use terrible in the sense of "extremely unpleasant or disagreeable" or to illustrate the extreme hardships that are an inevitable part of this experience. --- In verses 12-14 , the states of the r...
