One of the most significant verses of this chapter has to be vs. 18 where the King pleads with God to know that he is and for forgiveness. The verse that struck me more during this review of the chapter was vs. 15:
And it came to pass that when Aaron had expounded all of these things unto him, the king said: What shall I do that I may have this eternal life of which thou hast spoken? Yea, what shall I do that I may be born of God, having this wicked spirit rooted out of my breast, and receive his Spirit, that I may be filled with joy, that I may not be cast off at the last day? Behold, said he, I will give up all that I possess, yea, I will forsake my kingdom, that I may receive this great joy.
I particularly like the idea of having our wicked spirits rooted out of us and receiving 'his Spirit'. How else will we know how to do the will of the Father, which is the Order of Christ?
