Alma 12:3

Now Zeezrom, seeing that thou hast been taken in thy lying and craftiness,

for thou hast not lied unto men only but thou hast lied unto God;

for behold, he knows all thy thoughts,

and thou seest that thy thoughts are made known unto us by his Spirit;

Alma 12:8

And Zeezrom began to inquire of them diligently,

that he might know more concerning the kingdom of God.

And he said unto Alma:

What does this mean which Amulek hath spoken

concerning the resurrection of the dead,

that all shall rise from the dead,

both the just and the unjust,

and are brought to stand before God

to be judged according to their works?

Alma 12:9

And now Alma began to expound these things unto him, saying:

It is given unto many to know the mysteries of God;

nevertheless they are laid under a strict command

that they shall not impart

only according to the portion of his word

which he doth grant unto the children of men,

according to the heed and diligence which they give unto him.

Alma 12:11

And they that will harden their hearts,

to them is given the lesser portion of the word

until they know nothing concerning his mysteries;

and then they are taken captive by the devil,

and led by his will down to destruction.

Now this is what is meant by the chains of hell.

Alma 12:15

But this cannot be;

we must come forth and stand before him

in his glory, and in his power, and in his might, majesty, and dominion,

and acknowledge to our everlasting shame that all his judgments are just;

that he is just in all his works,

and that he is merciful unto the children of men,

and that he has all power to save every man

that believeth on his name and bringeth forth fruit meet for repentance.

Alma 12:37

And now, my brethren, seeing we know these things, and they are true,

let us repent, and harden not our hearts,

that we provoke not the Lord our God to pull down his wrath upon us

in these his second commandments which he has given unto us;

but let us enter into the rest of God,

which is prepared according to his word.

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.
