One Thing Jesus Cannot Do

I love the discussion between Zeezrom and Amulek. Amulek explains correctly that Jesus Christ cannot save us IN our sins. Amulek explains this well and Alma 42 explains this well too. I also like the explanation in Helaman 5. I love Helaman 5:10-11. These chapters and verses in the Book of Mormon clarify the simplest and most profound doctrines and truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ. They make it clear why we worship our Lord and Savior. Otherwise, repentance becomes a joke. To confess Christ as a Savior without so much as giving lip service to Him. What does that do to us or for us or for Him? As stated in Helaman 5:10-11, I want to be brought unto the power of the Redeemer because of repentance, because I change my ways and can be cleansed through His blood.

"...for he said unto him that the Lord surely should come to redeem his people, but that he should not come to redeem them in their sins, but to redeem them from their sins. And he hath power given unto him from the Father to redeem them from their sins because of repentance; therefore he hath sent his angels to declare the tidings of the conditions of repentance, which bringeth unto the power of the Redeemer, unto the salvation of their souls" Helaman 5:10-11

What powerful verses! Precious pearls of great price that many are starving to hear and understand.
