Mosiah 4:30--And Perish Not

29. And finally, I cannot tell you all the things whereby ye may commit sin; for there are divers ways and means, even so many that I cannot number them.
30. But this much I can tell you, that if ye do not watch yourselves, and your thoughts, and your words, and your deeds, and observe the commandments of God, and continue in the faith of what ye have heard concerning the coming of our Lord, even unto the end of your lives, ye must perish. And now, O man, remember, and perish not.

This is a pretty daunting assignment. Right after telling us there are more ways to sin than Benjamin can number, we are told to remember or perish. If he can't even count them all, how are we supposed to remember them all? I think the answer is in verse 30. Here's how we do it. It's a list of three.

1. Watch ourselves, our thoughts, our words, and our deeds
   
2. Observe the commandments of God
3. Continue in the faith of the Lord

We're not required to count all the ways we could sin, and we're not required to remember all the ways either. What we are required to remember are these three things. Then we'll be fine.
