Alma 7:7

For behold, I say unto you there be many things to come;

and behold, there is one thing which is of more importance than they all —

for behold, the time is not far distant

that the Redeemer liveth and cometh among his people.



Alma 7:8

Behold, I do not say that he will come among us

at the time of his dwelling in his mortal tabernacle;

for behold, the Spirit hath not said unto me that this should be the case.

Now as to this thing I do not know;

but this much I do know,

that the Lord God hath power to do all things

which are according to his word.



Alma 7:14

Now I say unto you

that ye must repent, and be born again;

for the Spirit saith

if ye are not born again ye cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven;

therefore come and be baptized unto repentance,

that ye may be washed from your sins,

that ye may have faith on the Lamb of God,

who taketh away the sins of the world,

who is mighty to save and to cleanse from all unrighteousness.



Alma 7:15

Yea, I say unto you

come and fear not, and lay aside every sin, which easily doth beset you,

which doth bind you down to destruction,

yea, come and go forth, and show unto your God

that ye are willing to repent of your sins

and enter into a covenant with him to keep his commandments,

and witness it unto him this day by going into the waters of baptism.



Alma 7:16

And whosoever doeth this,

and keepeth the commandments of God from thenceforth,

the same will remember that I say unto him,

yea, he will remember that I have said unto him,

he shall have eternal life,

according to the testimony of the Holy Spirit, which testifieth in me.



Alma 7:17

And now my beloved brethren, do you believe these things?

Behold, I say unto you,

yea, I know that ye believe them;

and the way that I know that ye believe them

is by the manifestation of the Spirit which is in me.

And now because your faith is strong concerning that,

yea, concerning the things which I have spoken,

great is my joy.



Alma 7:21

And he doth not dwell in unholy temples;

neither can filthiness or anything which is unclean

be received into the kingdom of God;

therefore I say unto you

the time shall come,

yea, and it shall be at the last day,

that he who is filthy shall remain in his filthiness.
