When Alma gave up the judgment seat and devoted himself
full-time to the ministry he had a joyful experience in the city of
Gideon. They had remained faithful. He revealed to them the name of the Savior’s
mother: Mary. He told them that Mary would conceive by the
power of God and thus bring forth a son who would be the Son of God. He commanded them to repent and faithfully
follow Christ and keep their covenants with him. Why would he command a faithful people to
repent? Because that is the way to stay
faithful: to repent daily and return to
him in our hearts every day. So they
didn’t take offense by the charge to repent; they knew that repentance is a joy
and a privilege brought about by the Atonement of Christ.
