They did fast and pray oft,
and did wax stronger and
stronger in their humility,
and firmer and firmer
in the faith of Christ,
unto the filling their souls
with joy and consolation,
yea, even to the purifying
and the sanctification of their hearts,
which sanctification cometh
because of their yielding
their hearts unto God.
(Helaman 3:35)
True Joy In Christ
All May Come Unto Christ
Yea, we see that whosoever will
may lay hold upon the word of God,
which is quick and powerful,
which shall divide asunder
all the cunning and the snares
and the wiles of the devil,
and lead the man of Christ
in a strait and narrow course
across that everlasting gulf of misery
which is prepared to engulf the wicked—
And land their souls,
yea, their immortal souls,
at the right hand of God
in the kingdom of heaven,
to sit down with Abraham,
and Isaac, and with Jacob,
and with all our holy fathers,
to go no more out.
(Helaman 3:29-30)
All May Believe In Jesus
Yea, thus we see that
the gate of heaven is open unto all,
even to those who will believe
on the name of Jesus Christ,
who is the Son of God.
(Helaman 3:28)
The Cause Of Christians
He was preparing to support their liberty,
their lands, their wives, and
their children, and their peace,
and that they might live unto the Lord
their God,
and that they might maintain that which was
called by their
enemies the cause of Christians.
(Alma 48:10)
Happy In Christ
There were many who died with old age;
and those who died in the faith of Christ
are happy in him, as we must needs suppose.
(Alma 46:41)
Rejoice In The Hope Of Christ
And it came to pass that there were many who died,
firmly believing that
their souls were
redeemed by the Lord Jesus Christ;
thus they went out
of the world rejoicing.
(Alma 46:39)
Stand Fast In Christ
And now who knoweth but what
the remnant of the seed of Joseph,
which
shall perish as his garment,
are those who have dissented from us?
Yea,
and even it shall be ourselves
if we do not stand fast in the faith of
Christ.
(Alma 46:27)
Stand In The Name Of Christ
The people came running together,
rending their garments in token, or as a covenant,
that they
would not forsake the Lord their God;
or, in other words, if they should
transgress the commandments of God,
or fall into transgression, and be
ashamed
to take upon them the name of Christ,
the Lord should rend them
even as
they had rent their garments.
(Alma 46:21)
Followers Of Christ
Surely God shall not suffer that we,
who are despised because we
take
upon us the name of Christ,
shall be trodden down and destroyed,
until
we bring it upon us
by our own transgressions.
(Alma 46:17)
True Christians
And therefore, at this time, Moroni prayed
that the cause of the Christians,
and the freedom of the land might be favored.
(Alma 46:16)
They Were Christians
And those who did belong to the church were faithful;
yea, all those who
were true believers in Christ
took upon them, gladly, the name of
Christ,
or Christians as they were called, because of
their belief in
Christ who should come.
(Alma 46:15)
True Believers In Christ
He bowed himself to the
earth,
and he prayed mightily unto his God
for the blessings of liberty
to rest upon his brethren,
so long as there should a band of Christians
remain to possess the land—
For
thus were all the true believers of Christ,
who belonged to the church
of God,
called by those who did not belong to the church.
Because Of Faith In Christ
But now, ye behold that the Lord is with us;
and ye behold that he has
delivered you into our hands.
And now I would that ye should understand
that this is done unto us because of
our religion and our faith in
Christ.
And now ye see that ye cannot destroy this our faith.
(Alma 44:3)
Through The Justice Of Christ
Behold, it is requisite and just,
according to the power
and
resurrection of Christ,
that the soul of man
should be restored to its
body,
and that every part of the body
should be restored to itself.
(Alma 41:2)
At Christ's Resurrection
There is a first resurrection,
a resurrection of all those who have been,
or who are, or who shall be,
down to the resurrection
of Christ from
the dead.
(Alma 40:16)
He Is The First Fruits
Behold, I say unto you,
that there is no resurrection—
or, I would say, in other words, that
this
mortal does not put on immortality,
this corruption does not put on
incorruption—
until after the coming of Christ.
Behold, he bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead.
(Alma 40:2-3)
Christ's Gospel
I would say somewhat unto you
concerning the coming of Christ.
Behold, I
say unto you,
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.
(Alma 39:15)
Only In & Through Christ
I have told you this that ye may learn wisdom,
that ye may learn of me
that there is no other way
or means whereby man can be saved,
only in
and through Christ.
Behold, he is the life and the light of the world.
Behold, he is the word of truth and righteousness.
(Alma 38:9)
Find Peace In Christ
I was three days and three nights
in the most bitter pain and anguish of
soul;
and never, until I did cry out unto
the Lord Jesus Christ for
mercy,
did I receive a remission of my sins.
But behold, I did cry unto
him
and I did find peace to my soul.
(Alma 38:8)
Follow Jesus
Surely shall the words of Christ,
if we follow their
course,
carry us beyond this vale of sorrow
into a far better land of
promise.
(Alma 37:45)
