A covenant worth keeping

Derived from the covenant of those baptized at the waters of Mormon written of in Alma 18:8-10

Do you desire to come into the fold of God?
Do you desire to become His people?
Do you desire to be His family, His sons, and His daughters?

Will you bear one another's burdens that they may be light?
Will you mourn with those that mourn and comfort those that stand in need of comfort?
Will you stand as a witness of God at all times and in all places that you may be in, even until death?
Will you serve God and keep his commandments?
If you will do so God will redeem you, He will number you among His sons and daughters, He will pour out His spirit upon you that you will be filled with love, light (knowledge), understanding, and peace.

This is the covenant made between Alma and the people and God.  This is the covenant I seek with God.
