“Alma taught such elevated doctrines because there was at least one soul, Zeezrom, who would respond to those deeply meaningful doctrines and change his behavior forever, not to mention the many other believers (Alma 14:1) who would suffer martyrdom because of their unwavering conversion to Alma’s teachings (Alma 14:7–14). The doctrines of God have power to change people’s hearts and minds” (Ogden and Skinner, Book of Mormon, 1:409).
