Alma 40:7

And now I would inquire what becometh of the souls of men

from this time of death to the time appointed for the resurrection?

Alma 40:9

Therefore, there is a time appointed unto men that they shall rise from the dead;

and there is a space between the time of death and the resurrection.

And now, concerning this space of time,

what becometh of the souls of men is the thing

which I have inquired diligently of the Lord to know;

and this is the thing of which I do know.

Alma 42:13

Therefore, according to justice,

the plan of redemption could not be brought about,

only on conditions of repentance of men in this probationary state,

yea, this preparatory state;

for except it were for these conditions,

mercy could not take effect except it should destroy the work of justice.

Now the work of justice could not be destroyed;

if so, God would cease to be God.

Alma 42:26

And thus God bringeth about his great and eternal purposes,

which were prepared from the foundation of the world.

And thus cometh about the salvation and the redemption of men,

and also their destruction and misery.
