Alma teaches that Christ will suffer that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities (Alma 7:12). But his infinite atonement does not apply to those in transgression. Neither will he bless them with material things but I will hedge up their ways that they prosper not. Over and over again, we are reminded of the loving kindness of the Lord, that he would gladly help us if we would be obedient, O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! (Matt 23:37)
