Alma’s Words to his Son Corianton

Conclusion and Counsel

Alma 42:29–30

Alma tells Corianton not to be misguided, but to accept the Lord in his heart.

And now, my son, I desire that ye should let these things trouble you no more, and only let your sins trouble you, with that trouble which shall bring you down unto repentance.

O my son, I desire that ye should deny the justice of God no more. Do not endeavor to excuse yourself in the least point because of your sins, by denying the justice of God; but do you let the justice of God, and his mercy, and his long–suffering have full sway in your heart; and let it bring you down to the dust in humility.

Alma 42:31

Alma counsels Corianton to go preach the gospel and bring souls unto Christ.

And now, O my son, ye are called of God to preach the word unto this people. And now, my son, go thy way, declare the word with truth and soberness, that thou mayest bring souls unto repentance, that the great plan of mercy may have claim upon them. And may God grant unto you even according to my words. Amen.
