Unit 47
Segment 3 of 8 [#287]
Repent and Prepare
Alma 5:26 - Alma 5:32
Duration: 1:20
Alma 5:26
And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren,
if ye have experienced a change of heart,
and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love,
I would ask,
can ye feel so now?
Alma 5:27
Have ye walked, keeping yourselves blameless before God?
Could ye say, if ye were called to die at this time, within yourselves,
that ye have been sufficiently humble?
That your garments have been cleansed
and made white through the blood of Christ,
who will come to redeem his people from their sins?
Alma 5:28
Behold, are ye stripped of pride?
I say unto you,
if ye are not ye are not prepared to meet God.
Behold ye must prepare quickly;
for the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand,
and such an one hath not eternal life.
Alma 5:29
Behold, I say,
is there one among you who is not stripped of envy?
I say unto you that such an one is not prepared;
and I would that he should prepare quickly,
for the hour is close at hand,
and he knoweth not when the time shall come;
for such an one is not found guiltless.
Alma 5:30
And again I say unto you,
is there one among you that doth make a mock of his brother,
or that heapeth upon him persecutions?
Alma 5:31
Wo unto such an one,
for he is not prepared,
and the time is at hand that he must repent or he cannot be saved!
Alma 5:32
Yea, even wo unto all ye workers of iniquity;
repent, repent, for the Lord God hath spoken it!
