Alma 30:13

O ye that are bound down under a foolish and a vain hope,

why do ye yoke yourselves with such foolish things?

Why do ye look for a Christ?

For no man can know of anything which is to come.

Alma 32:27

But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties,

even to an experiment upon my words,

and exercise a particle of faith,

yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe,

let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner

that ye can give place for a portion of my words.

Alma 32:40

And thus, if ye will not nourish the word,

looking forward with an eye of faith to the fruit thereof,

ye can never pluck of the fruit of the tree of life.

Alma 33:14

Now behold, my brethren, I would ask if ye have read the scriptures?

If ye have, how can ye disbelieve on the Son of God?

Alma 33:23

And now, my brethren, I desire that ye shall plant this word in your hearts,

and as it beginneth to swell even so nourish it by your faith.

And behold, it will become a tree, springing up in you unto everlasting life.

And then may God grant unto you

that your burdens may be light, through the joy of his Son.

And even all this can ye do if ye will.

Amen.

Alma 34:11

Now there is not any man that can sacrifice his own blood

which will atone for the sins of another.

Now, if a man murdereth,

behold will our law, which is just, take the life of his brother?

I say unto you, Nay.

Alma 34:12

But the law requireth the life of him who hath murdered;

therefore there can be nothing which is short of an infinite atonement

which will suffice for the sins of the world.

Alma 34:16

And thus mercy can satisfy the demands of justice,

and encircles them in the arms of safety,

while he that exercises no faith unto repentance

is exposed to the whole law of the demands of justice;

therefore only unto him that has faith unto repentance

is brought about the great and eternal plan of redemption.

Alma 34:33

And now, as I said unto you before,

as ye have had so many witnesses,

therefore, I beseech of you

that ye do not procrastinate the day of your repentance until the end;

for after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity,

behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life,

then cometh the night of darkness wherein there can be no labor performed.
