When Benjamin challenged his people (and us) to be spiritually reborn, to put off the natural man and become a saint through the atonement of Christ, he further instructed us to become as little children-“submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict” upon us (Mosiah 3:19, italics added). Likewise, Alma warned the people of Ammonihah against procrastination:
“But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear, and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering”; having faith on the Lord; having a hope that ye shall receive eternal life; having the love of God always in your hearts, that ye may be lifted up at the last day and enter into his rest“ (Alma 13:28, italics added).”
