“Amulek’s life was heroic, not tragic. … We do know that he was blessed with the sure blessings of obedience: the transforming of his life by the power of the atonement of Jesus Christ, the gift to give others the chance to choose that blessing, and the trust which God extends to those He knows will hear, will obey, and then will endure as doers of the word to the point of sacrifice, and beyond. Amulek was blessed with all of that, as we will be if we choose to obey” (Eyring, “Amulek,” 112).
