Alma: Wars Within and Without

The rebirth of the spirit is a continuous theme in the book of Alma. He gives up his position in the government and goes among the people to preach. His great sermon in Alma 5 offers an opportunity for each of us to ask ourselves how we are doing as Christians. I see four themes in Alma, and all of them begin with R: Redemption, Resurrection, Restoration and Restitution. Something to think about as you go through these chapters.

You can find Alma 5: Is it Time to be Born Again, Again? here.

Perhaps the greatest sermon on the atonement of Christ is found in Alma 7, where Alma lists six types of experience that Christ must have, in the flesh, in order to be able to succor us; when pain, sickness, temptation, infirmity, adversity and death come, the Savior has been there before us.

You can find Alma 7: Empathy and the Atonement here.
