Lesson 22
“Have Ye Received His Image in Your Countenances?”
Alma 5 contains over 40 questions. Look for those questions and ponder how you would answer them.

Throughout his address to the people in Zarahemla, Alma spoke of experiencing a “mighty change” of heart and being “born of God” (Alma 5:14). We often use the word conversion when we speak of this experience. What does it mean to be converted? (See Mosiah 5:2; 27:24–26.)
