Alma 36:26

For because of the word which he has imparted unto me,

behold, many have been born of God,

and have tasted as I have tasted,

and have seen eye to eye as I have seen;

therefore they do know of these things of which I have spoken, as I do know;

and the knowledge which I have is of God.

Alma 36:30

But behold, my son, this is not all;

for ye ought to know as I do know,

that inasmuch as ye shall keep the commandments of God

and ye ought to know also,

that inasmuch as ye will not keep the commandments of God

ye shall be cut off from his presence.

Now this is according to his word.

for it is for a wise purpose that they are kept.

Yea, I say unto you,

were it not for these things that these records do contain, which are on these plates,

Ammon and his brethren could not have convinced

so many thousands of the Lamanites of the incorrect tradition of their fathers;

yea, these records and their words brought them unto repentance;

that is, they brought them to the knowledge of the Lord their God,

and to rejoice in Jesus Christ their Redeemer.

Alma 37:12

they are preserved for a wise purpose,

which purpose is known unto God;

for he doth counsel in wisdom over all his works,

and his paths are straight,

and his course is one eternal round.

Alma 37:16

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 you must appeal unto the Lord

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.

Alma 37:28

For behold, there is a curse upon all this land,

that destruction shall come upon all those workers of darkness,

according to the power of God,

when they are fully ripe;

therefore I desire that this people might not be destroyed.

Alma 37:38

And now, my son, I have somewhat to say

concerning the thing which our fathers call a ball, or director —

or our fathers called it Liahona,

which is, being interpreted, a compass;

and the Lord prepared it.

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 37:44

For behold, it is as easy to give heed to the word of Christ,

which will point to you a straight course to eternal bliss,

as it was for our fathers to give heed to this compass,

which would point unto them a straight course to the promised land.

Alma 37:45

And now I say,

is there not a type in this thing?

For just as surely as this director did bring our fathers,

by following its course, to the promised land,

shall the words of Christ, if we follow their course, carry us

beyond this vale of sorrow into a far better land of promise.

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.
