In No Time, We Can Fall

I am loving the beginning of Helaman and what I am learning. In no time, the Nephites went from righteous to wicked because they started to boast in their own strength and rely on themselves. Hel. 4:13 says that. And then because of their iniquity, they became so weak, like verse 24 says. I looked up the footnote for verse 26, and it led to lots of scriptures about how a people fell in not many years. 

Alma 46:8 "Thus we see how quick the children of men do forget the Lord their God, yea, how quick to do iniquity, and to be led away by the evil one."

Nobody is immune from weakness, sin, regression. We must always be diligent in keeping our faith and desire to be good strong.  

2 Yea, and we may see at the very time when he doth prosper his people, yea, in the increase of their fields, their flocks and their herds, and in gold, and in silver, and in all manner of precious things of every kind and art; sparing their lives, and delivering them out of the hands of their enemies; softening the hearts of their enemies that they should not declare wars against them; yea, and in fine, doing all things for the welfare and happiness of his people; yea, then is the time that they do harden their hearts, and do forget the Lord their God, and do trample under their feet the Holy One--yea, and this because of their ease, and their exceedingly great prosperity. Hel. 12:2
