Alma 13:4

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 12:13

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 12:18

Then, I say unto you,

they shall be as though there had been no redemption made;

for they cannot be redeemed according to God's justice;

and they cannot die,

seeing there is no more corruption.

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 12:24

And we see that death comes upon mankind,

yea, the death which has been spoken of by Amulek,

which is the temporal death;

nevertheless there was a space granted unto man in which he might repent;

therefore this life became a probationary state;

a time to prepare to meet God;

a time to prepare for that endless state

which has been spoken of by us,

which is after the resurrection of the dead.

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 12:30

And they began from that time forth to call on his name;

therefore God conversed with men,

and made known unto them the plan of redemption,

which had been prepared from the foundation of the world;

and this he made known unto them

according to their faith and repentance and their holy works.

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.
