- • Alma 12:15—…we must come forth and stand before him in his glory, and in his power, and in his might, majesty, and dominion, and acknowledge to our everlasting shame that all his judgments are just; that he is just in all his works, and that he is merciful unto the children of men, and that he has all power to save every man that believeth on his name and bringeth forth fruit meet for repentance. We will stand before the Lord and if we are good we will feel like Moroni in that we meet “before the pleasing bar of the great Jehovah” (Moroni 10:34); by contrast, if we have sinned without repenting, we may feel like Alma did prior to his repentance: “. . . the very thought of coming into the presence of my God did rack my soul with inexpressible horror” (Alma 36:14). The key is to repent with full purpose of heart—then is the Lord’s mercy extended towards us. • Alma 42:24-25—For behold, justice exerciseth all his demands, and also mercy claimeth all which is her own; and thus, none but the truly penitent are saved. What, do ye suppose that mercy can rob justice? I say unto you, Nay; not one whit. If so, God would cease to be God. Let us never forget that to qualify for mercy we must repent, else we must suffer the consequences (see Doctrine and Covenants 19:15-19). It is profitable to read the entire explanation that Alma gave to his son Corianton on this vital subject (see Alma 42:1-31). • Alma 41:3—And it is requisite with the justice of God that men should be judged according to their works; and if their works were good in this life, and the desires of their hearts were good, that they should also, at the last day, be restored unto that which is good. Remember that we are a result of our thoughts and desires. We do eventually act upon them and they become our “works.” If we are good, the doctrine of restoration is clear: we receive good for being good (see Alma 41:3-15). It is important to remember that our good works are never enough to save us. After we repent, we are worthy of receiving the grace of God through the atonement of His son. That grace makes up for our deficiencies and enables us to be exalted.
