Alma 39:16

And now, my son, this was the ministry unto which ye were called,

to declare these glad tidings unto this people,

to prepare their minds;

or rather that salvation might come unto them,

that they may prepare the minds of their children

to hear the word at the time of his coming.

Alma 41:12

And now behold, is the meaning of the word restoration

to take a thing of a natural state and place it in an unnatural state,

or to place it in a state opposite to its nature?

Alma 41:13

O, my son, this is not the case;

but the meaning of the word restoration is to bring back again evil for evil,

or carnal for carnal, or devilish for devilish —

good for that which is good;

righteous for that which is righteous;

just for that which is just;

merciful for that which is merciful.

Alma 41:15

For that which ye do send out shall return unto you again, and be restored;

therefore, the word restoration more fully condemneth the sinner,

and justifieth him not at all.

Alma 42:5

For behold, if Adam had put forth his hand immediately,

and partaken of the tree of life,

he would have lived forever, according to the word of God,

having no space for repentance;

yea, and also the word of God would have been void,

and the great plan of salvation would have been frustrated.

Alma 42:31

And now, O my son, ye are called of God to preach the word unto this people.

And now, my son, go thy way,

declare the word with truth and soberness,

that thou mayest bring souls unto repentance,

that the great plan of mercy may have claim upon them.

And may God grant unto you even according to my words.

Amen.
