“Bring Forth Works Which Are Meet for Repentance”

Brant Gardner

Alma contrasts the “ought” with the “is.” The people “ought” to be his brothers. Instead, they “are” a “lost and fallen people.” In the middle of these declarations of potential and reality Alma reminds them of the way that the two poles can be mediated, they can repent.
