The Virtue of the Word
By Elder Mark D. Eddy
Of the Seventy
There is virtue in the words of ancient and modern prophets precisely because their words are the Lord’s words.
In the Book of Mormon, we read of a vital decision made by the prophet Alma in a beloved verse of scripture. Prior to reviewing those familiar words, please consider with me the difficult circumstances under which that decision was made.
A faction of people, calling themselves Zoramites, had separated from the Nephites1 and gathered in the borders of the land near the Lamanites.2 The Nephites had recently defeated the Lamanites in an unprecedented battle in which tens of thousands were killed,3 and it was “greatly feared that the Zoramites would enter into a correspondence with the Lamanites, and that it would be the means of great loss.”4 Beyond the concerns of war, Alma had learned that the Zoramites, who “had had the word of God preached unto them,”5 were turning to idol worship and “perverting the ways of the Lord.”6 All of this weighed heavily on Alma and was “the cause of great sorrow.”7
Finding himself in these complex and challenging circumstances, Alma pondered what should be done. In his decision we read words that were preserved to inspire and instruct us as we navigate the complex and challenging circumstances of our day.8
“And now, as the preaching of the word had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which was just—yea, it had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else, which had happened unto them—therefore Alma thought it was expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God.”9
