Alma 7

Alma's experience with the people of Gideon was completely different than his experience with those in Zarahemla. He knew they believed, desired to repent, and had faith in the word of God. He saw their diligence and how they heeded the words he taught them. These were a people who were disciples of Jesus Christ and were in need of the tenderness the gospel provides.

And that is what Alma taught them. He spoke of the Savior and how intimately the Savior knows His children, because he suffered for their infirmities so he would know exactly how to succor them and blot out their transgressions.

Such truths about our Redeemer gives me hope of better things to come, courage to give up my fears, confidence that Jesus has my back when I walk in straight paths, and that His love can be perfectly provided for me in any given circumstance.
