“If We Will Look We May Live Forever”

Brant Gardner

Alma is suggesting that the way of the gospel is not difficult. The commandments are simple, and not all that hard to keep. He is suggesting that some may “be slothful because of the easiness of the way….” Once again this is the image of active faith. Alma rejects the notion that belief is sufficient. It must be faith leading to proper action that brings us to where “we may live forever.”
