For I went about with the sons of Mosiah, seeking to destroy the church of God;

but behold, God sent his holy angel to stop us by the way.



Alma 36:11

And the angel spake more things unto me,

which were heard by my brethren,

but I did not hear them;

for when I heard the words —

If thou wilt be destroyed of thyself,

seek no more to destroy the church of God —

I was struck with such great fear and amazement

lest perhaps I should be destroyed,

that I fell to the earth and I did hear no more.

to atone for the sins of the world.

Alma 36:22

Yea, methought I saw, even as our father Lehi saw,

God sitting upon his throne,

surrounded with numberless concourses of angels,

in the attitude of singing and praising their God;

yea, and my soul did long to be there.



Alma 36:24

Yea, and from that time even until now, I have labored without ceasing,

that I might bring souls unto repentance;

that I might bring them to taste of the exceeding joy of which I did taste;

that they might also be born of God, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.



Alma 36:28

And I know that he will raise me up at the last day, to dwell with him in glory;

yea, and I will praise him forever,

for he has brought our fathers out of Egypt,

and he led them by his power into the promised land;

yea, and he has delivered them out of bondage and captivity from time to time.

that God has entrusted you with these things, which are sacred,

which he has kept sacred,

and also which he will keep and preserve for a wise purpose in him,

that he may show forth his power unto future generations.

But if ye keep the commandments of God,

and do with these things which are sacred

according to that which the Lord doth command you,

for all things whatsoever ye must do with them)

behold, no power of earth or hell can take them from you,

for God is powerful to the fulfilling of all his words.

teach them to humble themselves and to be meek and lowly in heart;

teach them to withstand every temptation of the devil,

with their faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.



Alma 37:37

Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings,

and he will direct thee for good;

yea, when thou liest down at night

lie down unto the Lord,

that he may watch over you in your sleep;

and when thou risest in the morning

let thy heart be full of thanks unto God;

and if ye do these things,

ye shall be lifted up at the last day.

or did not travel a direct course,

and were afflicted with hunger and thirst, because of their transgressions.



Alma 37:43

And now, my son, I would that ye should understand

that these things are not without a shadow;

for as our fathers were slothful to give heed to this compass

(now these things were temporal)

they did not prosper;

even so it is with things which are spiritual.



Alma 37:46

O my son, do not let us be slothful because of the easiness of the way;

for so was it with our fathers;

for so was it prepared for them,

that if they would look they might live;

even so it is with us.

The way is prepared,

and if we will look we may live forever.
