Alma also talks about how (in the light of a coming judgment at the resurrection) to escape our mortal condition: First, Faith, believing in the words of God (v. 11,12), putting your trust in him (v. 13); Second, Repent (v. 33); Third, come unto him and bring forth works of righteousness (v. 33 - 35).
This is accompanied by a promise that the Lord will then deliver us from our hell and our bondage (v. 6,7, 9), awaken us to himself from our deep slumber (v. 7), replace our darkness with light (v. 7), cause our souls to expand (v. 9), create a mighty change in our hearts (v. 12, 13, 14), fill us with his love (v. 9). These changes are so profound we can be said to have "received his image in [our] countenance" (v. 14).
