"Remember is the most often used word in Scripture. Why?"

"The most repeated word in Scripture is remember. Why?" Wow. Remembering is so important. We tell our children "Remember who you are" (or something similar) often because we know if they will only REMEMBER where they come from, they will want to keep going where they are headed. If we remember our covenants made at baptism to always remember Jesus Christ and keep His commandments, we will be blessed to have His Spirit with us. When we remember to "mourn with those that mourn and comfort those that stand in need of comfort," (Mosiah 18:9) not only will that bring the Spirit, but be a blessing to someone else--maybe even an answer to their prayer. BUT, as for a scriptural answer, the one that came to mind is from Alma 5:26, "And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren, if ye have experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?" If we have let our lives be changed by our Savior Jesus Christ, but fail to remember Him, what good does that do our lives now? When we remember Him, we are ever renewed by His power and changed by His love.
