which I have inquired diligently of the Lord to know;

and this is the thing of which I do know.

Alma 40:13

And then shall it come to pass, that

the spirits of the wicked, yea, who are evil —

for behold, they have no part nor portion of the Spirit of the Lord;

for behold, they chose evil works rather than good;

therefore the spirit of the devil did enter into them,

and take possession of their house —

and these shall be cast out into outer darkness;

there shall be weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth,

and this because of their own iniquity,

being led captive by the will of the devil.

Alma 40:15

Now, there are some that have understood

that this state of happiness

according to the words which have been spoken.

And behold, again it hath been spoken, that there is a first resurrection,

But behold, an awful death cometh upon the wicked;

for they die as to things pertaining to things of righteousness;

or their works, which have been evil;

and they drink the dregs of a bitter cup.

But behold, I will explain it unto thee.

Alma 41:5

The one raised to happiness according to his desires of happiness,

and the other to evil according to his desires of evil;

for as he has desired to do evil all the day long

even so shall he have his reward of evil when the night cometh.

And now, my son, all men that are in a state of nature,

or I would say, in a carnal state,

are in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity;

and they have gone contrary to the nature of God;

therefore, they are in a state contrary to the nature of happiness.

Therefore, my son, see that you are merciful unto your brethren;

deal justly, judge righteously, and do good continually;

yea, ye shall have mercy restored unto you again;

ye shall have justice restored unto you again;

ye shall have a righteous judgment restored unto you again;

and ye shall have good rewarded unto you again.

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;

and the great plan of salvation would have been frustrated.

what could justice do, or mercy either,

for they would have no claim upon the creature?

O my son, I desire that ye should deny the justice of God no more.

Do not endeavor to excuse yourself in the least point because of your sins,

by denying the justice of God;

but do you let the justice of God, and his mercy,

and his long-suffering have full sway in your heart;

and let it bring you down to the dust in humility.

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.
