Redemption And Hope In Christ

And Aaron did expound unto him
the scriptures from the creation of Adam,
laying the fall of man before him, and their carnal state
and also the plan of redemption, which was prepared
from the foundation of the world, through Christ,
for all whosoever would believe on his name.

And since man had fallen he
could not merit anything of himself;
but the sufferings and death of Christ atone for their sins,
through faith and repentance, and so forth;
and that he breaketh the bands of death,
that the grave shall have no victory,
and that the sting of death should be
swallowed up in the hopes of glory.
(Alma 22:13-14)
