Alma 13:4

Alma 12:13

Then if our hearts have been hardened,

yea, if we have hardened our hearts against the word,

insomuch that it has not been found in us,

then will our state be awful,

for then we shall be condemned.

Alma 12:23

And now behold, I say unto you that

if it had been possible for Adam

to have partaken of the fruit of the tree of life at that time,

there would have been no death,

and the word would have been void,

making God a liar,

for he said:

If thou eat thou shalt surely die.

Alma 12:25

Now, if it had not been for the plan of redemption,

which was laid from the foundation of the world,

there could have been no resurrection of the dead;

but there was a plan of redemption laid,

which shall bring to pass the resurrection of the dead,

of which has been spoken.

Alma 12:26

And now behold, if it were possible

that our first parents could have gone forth and partaken of the tree of life

they would have been forever miserable,

having no preparatory state;

and thus the plan of redemption would have been frustrated,

and the word of God would have been void,

taking none effect.

Alma 12:27

But behold, it was not so;

but it was appointed unto men that they must die;

and after death, they must come to judgment,

even that same judgment of which we have spoken,

which is the end.

Alma 12:32

Therefore God gave unto them commandments,

after having made known unto them the plan of redemption,

that they should not do evil,

the penalty thereof being a second death,

which was an everlasting death as to things pertaining unto righteousness;

for on such the plan of redemption could have no power,

for the works of justice could not be destroyed,

according to the supreme goodness of God.

Alma 12:33

But God did call on men, in the name of his Son,

(this being the plan of redemption which was laid) saying:

If ye will repent and harden not your hearts,

then will I have mercy upon you, through mine Only Begotten Son;

Alma 12:34

Therefore, whosoever repenteth, and hardeneth not his heart,

he shall have claim on mercy through mine Only Begotten Son,

unto a remission of his sins;

and these shall enter into my rest.

Alma 13:4

And thus they have been called to this holy calling on account of their faith,

while others would reject the Spirit of God

on account of the hardness of their hearts and blindness of their minds,

while, if it had not been for this

they might have had as great privilege as their brethren.
