It came to the point that Alma would rather be destroyed than to be carried before the judgement seat to be judged of God. The thought of accounting for all those that he had lead astray. He felt tormented when he thought of those he had led away from the truth, but the fear to account for it, that struck me. The path to God's presence for Alma was bitter, it was the way of the adversary of all good. His mind caught hold of another way to enter God's presence, one with the Advocate. Instead of fear, confidence. What makes them so different? As I reflect on the situation he was in and read his account to his son, I consider the relationship I have felt I have with the Savior and with my Father in Heaven and I do not feel fear, but a longing, a longing to be home. Instead of fear, love. Alma learned he was loved, that he could be redeemed from any path through the power of the Savior's sacrifice, his understanding was made perfect of the true nature of our Heavenly Father. He ultimately understood he was a child of God who could return home through faith on the Son. What a wonderful message. That truly makes the meaning of both Lehi and Alma's vision of the angels and the throne of God more clear, it was an expression of the love they felt.
