Alma, personally, as father to son, testified to Shiblon the great truth that only through Christ, can man's salvation be wrought. "He is the life and the light of the world. Behold, He is the Word of Truth and Righteousness," he said, painting a vivid picture in Shiblon's mind of the greatness and the majesty of the Lord, thereby connoting, stirring, arousing, inspiriting and inspiring thoughts that all through life would lead Shiblon along wisdom's way. "That ye may learn of me" shows the intense confidence each (that is father and son) had in the word of the other.
