Alma reminds Corianton of the essence of his calling as a missionary—to preach Christ and prepare the minds of the people to receive Him. Evidently Corianton has questions in his heart about how the coming of Christ could be known so far in advance. Alma does not choose to give an exhortation on the theme of prophecy per se, but instead points out a very simple but profound fact: God loves all of His children—those who have lived before, those who live now, and those who will live at the time of Christ’s coming and in the extended future. Therefore, the logic of love enters the discussion and provides ample proof the God would make known His plan of redemption in all ages because His love is universal. What can be said in opposition to such a wise conclusion?
