Alma 42: 31; 49: 30; 48: 18

 

How are you and others being blessed because of repentance?

"31 And now, O my son, ye are called of God to preach the word unto this people. And now, my son, go thy way, declare the word with truth and soberness, that thou mayest bring souls unto repentance, that the great plan of mercy may have claim upon them. And may God grant unto you even according to my words. Amen." (Alma 42: 31)

"30 Yea, and there was continual peace among them, and exceedingly great prosperity in the church because of their heed and diligence which they gave unto the word of God, which was declared unto them by Helaman, and Shiblon, and Corianton, and Ammon and his brethren, yea, and by all those who had been ordained by the holy order of God, being baptized unto repentance, and sent forth to preach among the people." (Alma 49: 30)

"18 Behold, he was a man like unto Ammon, the son of Mosiah, yea, and even the other sons of Mosiah, yea, and also Alma and his sons, for they were all men of God." (Alma 48: 18)

And here's the continuation of the commentary entitled: "I can avoid sexual sin." :

"What evidence do we have that Corianton repented? (see Alma 42:31; 49:30; 48:18). What do you learn about the Savior from this experience?"

Corianton is able to return to doing the Lord's work because he repented of his own sins. The Lord is truly merciful. He quickly forgives those who make the choice to repent and bless them with the privilege to do His work.
