Abstract
During Alma’s missionary efforts a group of sincere seekers asked, “what shall we do?” (see Alma 32:5).
This question prompted Alma to teach one of the greatest lessons anywhere in scripture on how to exPERience more of God’s light and love in our lives.
Alma’s core theme was to exPERiment on the word of God.
exPERiment to become an exPERt
Who among us wouldn’t want to become an expert at knowing God’s truth and living it?
Alma’s lesson in Alma 32 provides guidance for how to become an exPERt by using our life exPERiences as exPERiments to gain exPERtise in following God.
Alma urges sincere followers of God to exPERiment on the word of God. Alma invites us to learn through personal exPERience to taste and embrace the true as though we had planted our own personal tree of life (see Alma 32:26-43).
