The passage highlights the concept of knowing but choosing not to acknowledge or act upon that knowledge, leading to a state of rebellion against God. It suggests the distinction between refusing to understand versus being incapable of understanding. Through the example of Amulek, the text underscores the importance of humility in embracing knowledge and guidance, urging individuals to live up to their full spiritual potential and not fall short of their privileges.
How can we teach the hard hearted? According to Dr. Daniel Sharp, Alma and Amulek proclaim the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the wicked in Ammonihah while teaching the power of prayer, missionary work, and the reality of angels.
