What are the implications of Alma’s questions in these verses?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Alma implies here that the ‘exercise of faith in the redemption’ [verse 15] of Christ sufficient to bring about the mighty change in one’s heart is prerequisite to obtaining a pure heart and clean hands. He also implies that if on the great judgment day one can look up to God with a pure heart and clean hands, he will hear the voice of the Lord saying unto him, ‘Come unto me ye blessed’; if he cannot do so, his soul will be filled with guilt and remorse” (Romney, Learning for the Eternities, 127).
