The Alma Challenge

A friend has challenged me to read the book of Alma and find all the times the Lord has delivered his followers out of bondage. I decided to take her up on that challenge and I have been blown away by all the Lord has done for those who obey his commandments. I have always thought as Alma as the war chapters, because there are so many battles in that book. Yes, there are many, many times the gospel has been preached in the book of Alma but in the past when I've thought of Alma, I've thought about all the battles. This challenge has changed my view of Alma, Alma is full of the love of God and his desire to deliver his righteous believers. It is the perfect reminder of the grace and mercy he offers to all his righteous followers.
