How to Tell the Wicked from the Righteous (1 Nephi 16:1, 3)

March 2, 2006

“Thou hast declared unto us hard things, more than we are able to bear.” (v.
1)

“If ye were righteous and were willing to hearken to the truth,
and give heed unto it, that ye might walk uprightly before God, then ye would
not murmur because of the truth.” (v. 3)

How do you tell the wicked from the righteous? It’s not so much in the sin, because we all sin. The difference is the wicked get angry when they are corrected. The righteous accept correction and seek to change their behavior.

“Our mistakes can be our biggest benefactors, as soon as we allow them to be our
greatest teachers.” (Colleen C. Harrison, He Did Deliver Me from Bondage,
p 69)
