7 For if there be no Christ there be no God; and if there be no God we are not, for there could have been no creation. But there is a God, and he is Christ, and he cometh in the fulness of his own time.

"But there is a God!"


I feel like that deserves an exclamation mark!


It reminds me of my favorite verse in this whole book, spoken by Aaron to King Lamoni's father, "Behold, assuredly as thou livest O king - there is a God!" (exclamation mark added by myself.)


I love Nephi's, Jacob's, Amulek's, Alma's, Aaron's, Isaiah's (and other) testimonies of Jesus Christ!


If I had Mormon's pen (quill? blade?) and summarized these records, I'd be tempted to add an exclamation point after each one! (With respect to Mormon! I love that prophet and honor and reverence everything he wrote. He is my favorite person in the Book of Mormon. I just like pondering punctuation marks!) :)


But I can write this:


Behold, O reader of this blog, I testify that assuredly as thou livest, O friend, there is a God!!!
