I read this versus and have been pondering them and other questions today. This is just a sampling of a few of the questions that are asked in this passage. This is a great chapter of scripture for self evaluation.
Alma 5
14 And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye spiritually been born of God? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?
15 Do ye exercise faith in the redemption of him who created you? Do you look forward with an eye of faith, and view this mortal body raised in immortality, and this corruption raised in incorruption, to stand before God to be judged according to the deeds which have been done in the mortal body?
16 I say unto you, can you imagine to yourselves that ye hear the voice of the Lord, saying unto you, in that day: Come unto me ye blessed, for behold, your works have been the works of righteousness upon the face of the earth?
As a result of having these versus on my mind, I thought of a song that I have been familiar with for years. I played it on the piano today (along with some others about Christ). I might have the tune in my head for a few more days.:}
The song is titled 'His Image in Your Countenance' and is written by Janice Kapp Perry. It's in a piano/vocal book I have called The Light Within.
I was deciding which version to post. I came across this one (below) and I was touched that there were actual people in the frames instead of professional art with Christ as the subject. I love pictures of Christ. But, somehow the message of this song was brought into view in a more poignant way for me when I saw the smiling faces of the real people that are in this one. So, I wanted to share this one as well.
