25:14 And they did also bury their weapons of war, according as their
brethren had, and they began to be a righteous people; and they did
walk in the ways of the Lord, and did observe to keep his commandments
and his statutes.
25:15 Yea, and they did keep the law of Moses; for it was expedient
that they should keep the law of Moses as yet, for it was not all
fulfilled. But notwithstanding the law of Moses, they did look forward
to the coming of Christ, considering that the law of Moses was a type
of his coming, and believing that they must keep those outward
performances until the time that he should be revealed unto them.
25:16 Now they did not suppose that salvation came by the law of Moses;
but the law of Moses did serve to strengthen their faith in Christ; and
thus they did retain a hope through faith, unto eternal salvation,
relying upon the spirit of prophecy, which spake of those things to
come.
25:17 And now behold, Ammon, and Aaron, and Omner, and Himni, and their
brethren did rejoice exceedingly, for the success which they had had
among the Lamanites, seeing that the Lord had granted unto them
according to their prayers, and that he had also verified his word unto
them in every particular.
Alma Chapter 26
26:1 And now, these are the words of Ammon to his brethren, which say
thus: My brothers and my brethren, behold I say unto you, how great
reason have we to rejoice; for could we have supposed when we started
from the land of Zarahemla that God would have granted unto us such
great blessings?
26:2 And now, I ask, what great blessings has he bestowed upon us? Can
ye tell?
26:3 Behold, I answer for you; for our brethren, the Lamanites, were in
darkness, yea, even in the darkest abyss, but behold, how many of them
are brought to behold the marvelous light of God! And this is the
blessing which hath been bestowed upon us, that we have been made
instruments in the hands of God to bring about this great work.
26:4 Behold, thousands of them do rejoice, and have been brought into
the fold of God.
26:5 Behold, the field was ripe, and blessed are ye, for ye did thrust
in the sickle, and did reap with your might, yea, all the day long did
ye labor; and behold the number of your sheaves! And they shall be
gathered into the garners, that they are not wasted.
26:6 Yea, they shall not be beaten down by the storm at the last day;
yea, neither shall they be harrowed up by the whirlwinds; but when the
storm cometh they shall be gathered together in their place, that the
storm cannot penetrate to them; yea, neither shall they be driven with
fierce winds whithersoever the enemy listeth to carry them.
26:7 But behold, they are in the hands of the Lord of the harvest, and
they are his; and he will raise them up at the last day.
26:8 Blessed be the name of our God; let us sing to his praise, yea,
let us give thanks to his holy name, for he doth work righteousness
forever.
