Alma 9:41 Therefore this life became a
probationary state; a time to prepare to meet God; a time to prepare for that endless state, which has been spoken of by us, which is after the resurrection of the dead.
Alma 19:84 And thus we see, that there was a time granted unto man, to repent, yea, a
probationary time, a time to repent and serve God.
Alma 19:91 Therefore as they had been carnal, sensual and devilish, by nature, this
probationary state became a state for them to prepare; it became a preparatory state.
Alma 19:94 Therefore, according to justice, the plan of redemption could not be brought about, only, on conditions of repentance of men in this
probationary state; yea, this preparatory state; for except it were for these conditions, mercy could not take effect except it should destroy the work of justice.
