Alma knows that in the final analysis a living testimony of the coming of Christ is the central point of focus that will make the difference in the lives of his children. Therefore he says:
“And now, my son, I would say somewhat unto you concerning the coming of Christ. Behold, I say unto you, that it is he that surely shall come to take away the sins of the world; yea, he cometh to declare glad tidings of salvation unto his people. And now, my son, this was the ministry unto which ye were called, to declare these glad tidings unto this people, to prepare their minds; or rather that salvation might come unto them, that they may prepare the minds of their children to hear the word at the time of his coming.”
“Turn to the Lord with All Your Mind Might, and Strength”
