Rhetorical: Alma’s argument must end with the role of Christ, because that is the real point of contention that he is resolving. However, he begins with God. Restoration is “requisite with the justice of God.” God’s justice requires restoration. Although God requires it, Christ creates the conditions where it may occur. Alma’s argument begins with the common ground of God, and links the mission of the Atoning Messiah into that common ground.
As before, the initial restoration is the reuniting of the soul and body. This is the definition of resurrection that Alma just finished emphasizing in that last section of this discourse (now found in the previous chapter).
