Repentance and Mercy

Alma 9:24-25

"For behold, the promises of the Lord are extended to the Lamanites, but they are not unto you if ye transgress; for has not the Lord expressly promised and firmly decreed, that if ye will rebel against him that ye shall utterly be destroyed from off the face of the earth?

And now for this cause, that ye may not be destroyed, the Lord has sent his angel to visit many of his people, declaring unto them that they must go forth and cry mightily unto this people, saying: Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is nigh at hand;"

The Lord keeps his promises. He will destroy you if you willfully rebel against him. He has mercy though. He will send prophets to declare to you how to avoid destruction. He does not want to destroy His children. He loves us all so much and wants us to be happy. If we but do what He tells us, we will not be destroyed.
