Alma 21:6

Thou also sayest,

except we repent we shall perish.

How knowest thou the thought and intent of our hearts?

How knowest thou that we have cause to repent?

How knowest thou that we are not a righteous people?

Behold, we have built sanctuaries,

and we do assemble ourselves together to worship God.

We do believe that God will save all men.

and he did teach them many things.

Alma 22:14

And since man had fallen he could not merit anything of himself;

but the sufferings and death of Christ atone for their sins,

through faith and repentance, and so forth;

that the grave shall have no victory,

and that the sting of death should be swallowed up in the hopes of glory;

and Aaron did expound all these things unto the king.

Alma 22:15

And it came to pass that

after Aaron had expounded these things unto him,

the king said:

What shall I do that I may have this eternal life of which thou hast spoken?

Yea, what shall I do that I may be born of God,

having this wicked spirit rooted out of my breast,

and receive his Spirit, that I may be filled with joy,

that I may not be cast off at the last day?

Behold, said he, I will give up all that I possess,

yea, I will forsake my kingdom, that I may receive this great joy.

Alma 22:16

If thou desirest this thing,

if thou wilt bow down before God,

yea, if thou wilt repent of all thy sins,

and will bow down before God, and call on his name in faith,

believing that ye shall receive,

then shalt thou receive the hope which thou desirest.

O God, Aaron hath told me that there is a God;

and if there is a God, and if thou art God,

wilt thou make thyself known unto me,

she was angry with them,

and commanded that her servants, or the servants of the king,

should take them and slay them.

Why commandest thou that we should slay these men,

when behold one of them is mightier than us all?

Therefore we shall fall before them.

And it came to pass that the king sent a proclamation throughout all the land,

amongst all his people who were in all his land,

who were in all the regions round about,

which was bordering even to the sea, on the east and on the west,

and which was divided from the land of Zarahemla

by a narrow strip of wilderness, which ran from the sea east even to the sea west,

and round about on the borders of the seashore, and the borders of the wilderness

which was on the north by the land of Zarahemla, through the borders of Manti,

by the head of the river Sidon, running from the east towards the west —

and thus were the Lamanites and the Nephites divided.

whither the Nephites had driven them.

bordering on the wilderness, at the head of the river Sidon,

from the east to the west, round about on the wilderness side; on the north,

even until they came to the land which they called Bountiful.

Alma 22:31

And they came from there up into the south wilderness.

Thus the land on the northward was called Desolation,

and the land on the southward was called Bountiful,

it being the wilderness which is filled

with all manner of wild animals of every kind,

a part of which had come from the land northward for food.
