Alma 39:1

And now, my son, I have somewhat more to say unto thee

than what I said unto thy brother;

for behold, have ye not observed the steadiness of thy brother,

his faithfulness, and his diligence in keeping the commandments of God?

Behold, has he not set a good example for thee?

that it is he that surely shall come to take away the sins of the world;

yea, he cometh to declare glad tidings of salvation unto his people.

Behold, he bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead.

But behold, my son, the resurrection is not yet.

nevertheless, there are many mysteries which are kept,

that no one knoweth them save God himself.

But I show unto you one thing

which I have inquired diligently of God that I might know —

that is concerning the resurrection.



Alma 41:5

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

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

Now behold, my son, I will explain this thing unto thee.

For behold, after the Lord God sent our first parents forth from the garden of Eden,

to till the ground, from whence they were taken —

yea, he drew out the man,

and he placed at the east end of the garden of Eden, cherubim,

and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the tree of life —



Alma 42:3

Now, we see that the man had become as God, knowing good and evil;

and lest he should put forth his hand,

and take also of the tree of life, and eat and live forever,

the Lord God placed cherubim and the flaming sword,

that he should not partake of the fruit —



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.

Now, how could a man repent except he should sin?

How could he sin if there was no law?

How could there be a law save there was a punishment?

Now, if there was no law given — if a man murdered he should die —

would he be afraid he would die if he should murder?

behold, evil shall be done unto him, according to the restoration of God.
