Alma 25:15 15 Yea, and they did keep the law of Moses; for it was expedient that they should keep the law of Moses as yet, for it was not all fulfilled. But notwithstanding the law of Moses, they did look forward to the coming of Christ, considering that the law of Moses was a type of his coming, and believing that they must keep those outward performances until the time that he should be revealed unto them.
Alma 25:16 16 Now they did not suppose that salvation
came by the law of
Moses; but the law of Moses did serve to strengthen
their faith
in Christ; and thus they did retain a hope through
faith, unto
eternal salvation, relying upon the spirit of prophecy,
which
spake of those things to come.
Alma 25:17 17 And now behold, Ammon, and Aaron, and Omner, and Himni, and their brethren did rejoice exceedingly, for the success which they had had among the Lamanites, seeing that the Lord had granted unto them according to their prayers, and that he had also verified his word unto them in every particular.
Alma 26
Chapter 26
Alma 26:1 1 And now, these are the words of Ammon to his brethren, which say thus: My brothers and my brethren, behold I say unto you, how great reason have we to rejoice; for could we have supposed when we started from the land of Zarahemla that God would have granted unto us such great blessings?
Alma 26:2 2 And now, I ask, what great blessings
has he bestowed upon us?
Can ye tell?
Alma 26:3 3 Behold, I answer for you; for our brethren, the Lamanites, were in darkness, yea, even in the darkest abyss, but behold, how many of them are brought to behold the marvelous light of God! And this is the blessing which hath been bestowed upon us, that we have been made instruments in the hands of God to bring about this great work.
Alma 26:4 4 Behold, thousands of them do rejoice,
and have been brought
into the fold of God.
Alma 26:5 5 Behold, the field was ripe, and blessed
are ye, for ye did
thrust in the sickle, and did reap with your might,
yea, all the
day long did ye labor; and behold the number of your
sheaves!
And they shall be gathered into the garners, that
they are not
wasted.
Alma 26:6 6 Yea, they shall not be beaten down by the storm at the last day; yea, neither shall they be harrowed up by the whirlwinds; but when the storm cometh they shall be gathered together in their place, that the storm cannot penetrate to them; yea, neither shall they be driven with fierce winds whithersoever the enemy listeth to carry them.
Alma 26:7 7 But behold, they are in the hands of
the Lord of the harvest,
and they are his; and he will raise them up at the
last day.
Alma 26:8 8 Blessed be the name of our God; let
us sing to his praise,
yea, let us give thanks to his holy name, for he doth
work
righteousness forever.
Alma 26:9 9 For if we had not come up out of the
land of Zarahemla, these
our dearly beloved brethren, who have so dearly beloved
us, would
still have been racked with hatred against us, yea,
and they
would also have been strangers to God.
