“That Ye Begin to Call Upon His Holy Name”

Brant Gardner

Rhetorical: Amulek concludes this section with the logical conclusion to his argument. They must receive the benefit of this infinite atonement by becoming the people of this king who holds the rights to the sacrifice. They do this by “exercise[ing their] faith unto repentance.” Notice that the very next thing that they must do is “call upon his holy name.” This is not simply prayer (though that will be the direction Amulek takes the comment) but also adoption. The call on the name of the king because they have accepted that king as the one who grants their boons.
