“I Covenant with Thee That Thou Shalt Have Eternal Life”

Brant Gardner

The Lord now makes a third covenant.

In the first two, communal covenants were shifted to the church. Now the covenant makes a specific individual covenant with Alma. Alma's covenant is that he shall have eternal life (the Lord's promise) and that he shall serve the Lord and "gather together my sheep (Alma's promise).
