Alma teaches that there are two primary voices calling out to the human soul.
“…I say unto you that whatsoever is good cometh of God, and whatsoever is evil cometh from the devil. Therefore, if a man bringeth forth good works he hearkeneth unto the voice of the good shepherd, and he doth follow him; but whosoever bringeth forth evil works, the same becometh a child of the devil, for he hearkenth unto his voice, and doth follow him. And whosoever doeth this must receive his wages of him; therefore, for his wages he receiveth death, as to things pertaining to righteousness, being dead unto all good works.” (Alma 5:40-42)
Questions:
-Does someone have to be “saved” in order to do good works? Does Christ only reach out to those who call themselves Christian with His voice? Or, does He call out to all men and women?
-Can a person follow the light and spirit of Christ without even knowing His name?
-How many Christians, who consider themselves saved or claim to be saved, are actually earning the wages of death as described in the verses above?
-How many non-Christians are making the most of the light they have and are truly bringing forth good works?
