Alma 24:15

Oh, how merciful is our God!

And now behold, since it has been as much as we could do

to get our stains taken away from us, and our swords are made bright,

let us hide them away that they may be kept bright,

as a testimony to our God at the last day,

or at the day that we shall be brought to stand before him to be judged,

that we have not stained our swords in the blood of our brethren

since he imparted his word unto us and has made us clean thereby.

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?

Alma 26:35

Now have we not reason to rejoice?

Yea, I say unto you,

there never were men that had so great reason to rejoice as we,

since the world began;

yea, and my joy is carried away, even unto boasting in my God;

for he has all power, all wisdom, and all understanding;

he comprehendeth all things, and he is a merciful Being,

even unto salvation, to those who will repent and believe on his name.
