Intense story... but SO inspiring. He preaches by the spirit to King Noah (Mosiah 11-17 in the Book of Mormon).
1.King Noah is bringing down his people spiritually and thy have lost all moral value.
2.Abinadi comes to him and says "You and your people better watch your back... or the Lord will smite you."
3.Instead of listening... he burns Abinadi to death.
4.However... one was listening... ALMA!
5.So Alma goes and preaches to the people outside the city and hundreds are baptized.
Sooooo... theres a scripture (Doctrine and Covenants 18:15) that says: And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!
In Abinadi's case he saved one person: Alma. Who in turn saved TONS of people. But we can only help people improve their lives by crying repentance... if we have saved ourselves first! So be your own Abinadi... preach to yourself and figure out what you need to do to make it right. It's that easy. mormon.org
