“A Sense of Your Nothingness”
When King Benjamin spoke of man’s nothingness (see Mosiah 4:5), he was speaking of man’s utter dependence upon God. Man must rely upon God for everything: life and breath, food and the ability to produce it, health and strength, salvation and eternal life. Without God and the Atonement, man is, in a very real sense, nothing. Humility comes from realizing our dependence upon the Lord.
