Jacob's plea for repentance continues. He specifically notes that these blessings come only through Christ. "He employeth no servant there; and there is none other way save it be by the gate." This very specific narrowing of the salvific focus to Christ may be a reaction to the surrounding idolatry, and a plea for those Nephites needed this message to abandon their idols (returning to the "wo" statement on idolatry - v. 37).
