Q

Alma’s teachings on mercy and justice

A

Need both justice and mercy. Can’t get lazy/complacent because of grace/mercy, but need to repent and live according to justice. Both laws work together. If you only had mercy there would be no need for repentance, and if only justice you would feel like you can’t repent.
