Analysis of Alma Preached At The City Of Gideon
Alma continued his tour of Zarahemla, as the churches' high priest.
His second stop was Gideon, a city named for a leader deceased.
The words he spoke are relevant to us;
here are some things he did discuss.
The Christ child shall be born to Mary, a virgin, among the Jews.
He will bear the sins of His people, and the bonds of death, loose.
Those who repent, are babtised, and keep the commandments,
shall have eternal life. No execpions; all His children have a chance!
Filthiness cannot inherit God,s kingdoms of glory- no way.'
Only the shed blood of The Holy Lamb can wash it away.
Humility, faith, hope and charity are all requirements for salvatiion.
Christ will be born and become a beacon unto all nations.
