Alma 24:30

And thus we can plainly discern, that

after a people have been once enlightened by the Spirit of God,

and have had great knowledge of things pertaining to righteousness,

and then have fallen away into sin and transgression,

they become more hardened,

and thus their state becomes worse

than though they had never known these things.

Alma 26:17

Who could have supposed that our God would have been so merciful

as to have snatched us from our awful, sinful, and polluted state?
