Alma Sets the Church in Order in Zarahemla | Alma 5

A Book of Mormon prophet, Alma the younger, preaches in Zarahemla. He reminds the people that they can gain salvation through repentance. He teaches them to keep the commandments and to be born again through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
Many people believe Alma the younger’s words and experience a mighty change of heart. They repent and humble themselves. Some people who do not belong to the Church also believe, have faith in Jesus Christ, and are baptized. The people in God’s Church in Zarahemla become humbled and unified.
Based on Mosiah 29:43; Alma 5:3-8, 13-14, 16, 26-29, 33, 38, 43-46, 48, 60, 62; Alma 6:6.
Mosiah 29
43 And now it came to pass that Alma did walk in the ways of the Lord, and he did keep his commandments, and he did judge righteous judgments; and there was continual peace through the land.
Alma 5
3 I, Alma, having been consecrated by my father, Alma, to be a high priest over the church of God, he having power and authority from God to do these things, behold, I say unto you that he began to establish a church in the land which was in the borders of Nephi; yea, the land which was called the land of Mormon; yea, and he did baptize his brethren in the waters of Mormon.
4 And behold, I say unto you, they were delivered out of the hands of the people of king Noah, by the mercy and power of God.
5 And behold, after that, they were brought into bondage by the hands of the Lamanites in the wilderness; yea, I say unto you, they were in captivity, and again the Lord did deliver them out of bondage by the power of his word; and we were brought into this land, and here we began to establish the church of God throughout this land also.
6 And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren, you that belong to this church, have you sufficiently retained in remembrance the captivity of your fathers? Yea, and have you sufficiently retained in remembrance his mercy and long-suffering towards them? And moreover, have ye sufficiently retained in remembrance that he has delivered their souls from hell?
7 Behold, he changed their hearts; yea, he awakened them out of a deep sleep, and they awoke unto God. Behold, they were in the midst of darkness; nevertheless, their souls were illuminated by the light of the everlasting word; yea, they were encircled about by the bands of death, and the chains of hell, and an everlasting destruction did await them.
8 And now I ask of you, my brethren, were they destroyed? Behold, I say unto you, Nay, they were not.
13 And behold, he preached the word unto your fathers, and a mighty change was also wrought in their hearts, and they humbled themselves and put their trust in the true and living God. And behold, they were faithful until the end; therefore they were saved.
14 And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye spiritually been born of God? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?
16 I say unto you, can you imagine to yourselves that ye hear the voice of the Lord, saying unto you, in that day: Come unto me ye blessed, for behold, your works have been the works of righteousness upon the face of the earth?
26 And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren, if ye have experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?
27 Have ye walked, keeping yourselves blameless before God? Could ye say, if ye were called to die at this time, within yourselves, that ye have been sufficiently humble? That your garments have been cleansed and made white through the blood of Christ, who will come to redeem his people from their sins?
28 Behold, are ye stripped of pride? I say unto you, if ye are not ye are not prepared to meet God. Behold ye must prepare quickly; for the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand, and such an one hath not eternal life.
29 Behold, I say, is there one among you who is not stripped of envy? I say unto you that such an one is not prepared; and I would that he should prepare quickly, for the hour is close at hand, and he knoweth not when the time shall come; for such an one is not found guiltless.
33 Behold, he sendeth an invitation unto all men, for the arms of mercy are extended towards them, and he saith: Repent, and I will receive you.
38 Behold, I say unto you, that the good shepherd doth call you; yea, and in his own name he doth call you, which is the name of Christ; and if ye will not hearken unto the voice of the good shepherd, to the name by which ye are called, behold, ye are not the sheep of the good shepherd.

One of my favorite parts of the book of mormon

[@milsteven03]

I love this so much! A natural man who choose to repent when he heard the truth!

[@vernonbrowne6127]

AMEN!! 😇😇😇😇😇

[@lifeloverlorijean]

This great chapter is the chapter of the Book of Mormon that solidified my testimony of the truthfulness of this great book. I will never forget it. I was only 16 and my parents wouldn't let me be baptized, but I was able to still go on our youth Temple trip because I had been attending church for over a year and paying my tithing. I stayed up almost all night and read this great chapter and then many others. I love this chapter.

[@ametagaskill7878]

I love these VIDEOS I am very happy that they are going to be able to do the others later.THANK YOU SO MUCH.........

[@denisplouffe514]

Love Alma the younger. Such a great message. Prepare to meet God.

[@FaithtoAct]

I love how he asks if we have been spiritually reborn of God? 14 And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye spiritually been born of God? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts? 16 I say unto you, can you imagine to yourselves that ye hear the voice of the Lord, saying unto you, in that day: Come unto me ye blessed, for behold, your works have been the works of righteousness upon the face of the earth? 26 And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren, if ye have experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now? 27 Have ye walked, keeping yourselves blameless before God? Could ye say, if ye were called to die at this time, within yourselves, that ye have been sufficiently humble? That your garments have been cleansed and made white through the blood of Christ, who will come to redeem his people from their sins? #FaithToAct

[@rdgale2000]

I've always looks at these verses as the Judgement Day checklist. If we can answer truthfully to the questions in Alma 5:12-33, we will be in good standing with the Lord. I still have much work to do. But this much I do know, The words spoken here and in the rest of the Book of Mormon are true. Search them out with real intent and you will feel the truth of these things also.

[@MrManta2012]

look at what he says and it is the path to Christ. Humble your hearts and turn to God.

[@jamesholmes9493]

Love the videos. How come there is never blonde hair and blue eyes?

[@cumomsandcureloms]

Because Book of Mormon people would have had a combination of Middle Eastern and Mesoamerican genes

[@josiesride]

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[@mm4884_fp]

The acting isnt quite in the same tone the Alma in my head gives it. But the message is true either way.

[@sarahdesimon5781]

Adam!!

[@kcb5336]

These videos are so yuppie and corny. Verbal communication is never the same as written text. Taking the script direct from the BoM text leaves you with , well, this. Cheesy, feels completely unnatural. The people in the Book of Mormon didn’t speak like this.

[@stevenlester2606]

He's a good actor. There's still way too much stone upon stone. Bricks I would accept if they were made of mud.

[@TheGreatDadoo]

Good point ... and look at how all the people seem to be mixed with Lamanites. Where are the Jews? Where are the "white and delightsome" people of Nephi? They were the clean majority in Zerahemla ... why do 90% of these people look Tongan? Why is Alma the only white one up here?

[@asmith7094]

David Beecroft this is going to be hard to believe, but all of these people are actors and actresses.

[@Ponk-me8um]

@@TheGreatDadoo White was a synonym for pure in 1840 according to dictionaries of the time, which helps explain why that change was made by Joseph Smith in the 1840 edition, in case people thought the 1830 passage was about race. Jews of the Levant were not pasty white like some Europeans or Ashkenazi Jews. I'm not sure anyone really thinks the Nephites or the people of Zarahemla were "white" as far as race goes. The Nephites more likely had an olive complexion (except we know nothing about some of the passengers on Lehi's ship).
