"Alma 7: 7 For behold, I say unto you there be many things to come; and behold, there is one thing which is of more importance than they all—for behold, the time is not far distant that the Redeemer liveth and cometh among his people. There was no need to have to rekindle their testimony. So he could get right down to other important things. Imagine what we’d be told in conference if we didn’t need reminding of doing the basics! There would be more time to be told new and marvellous things instead of repetition. We need to be like the people of Gideon and not the people of Zarahemla."
