How does the “preaching of the word” (Alma 31:5) have such a tendency to lead people to Christ?

Thomas R. Valletta

“We see in this verse an example of the marvelous transformation that can begin to take place because of the power of the word. Zeezrom, only a short time before, had asked baiting, trapping questions. Now that he is confronted by the power of God and having his sins laid open to view, his queries begin to change, to reflect a type of sincere inquiry after the truth” (McConkie and Millet, Doctrinal Commentary, 3:82).

Can you think of a time when a passage of scripture had such a profound effect upon you?
