Alma 12:26,
Alma 13:3
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 13:3
And this is the manner after which they were ordained —
being called and prepared from the foundation of the world
according to the foreknowledge of God,
on account of their exceeding faith and good works;
in the first place being left to choose good or evil;
therefore they having chosen good, and exercising exceedingly great faith,
are called with a holy calling,
yea, with that holy calling which was prepared
with, and according to, a preparatory redemption for such.
