This guy is one of my favorite men in the scriptures. I absolutely fell in love with his conversion story and want to share my thoughts on this.
So Alma chapters 8-16 you need to study
I am constantly amazed at how this guy not only quickly believed and obeyed an angel of the Lord but quickly believed the words of Alma while he was letting Alma stay with him in his house. It clearly states that Amulec had a family... that he was very popular, very wealthy and very smart.
Yet he gives it all up to go and preach the gospel with Alma.
The way Amulec so quickly roots himself in the gospel is incredible! He is immediately persecuted with Alma in their ministers and yet he doesn't waiver. He witnesses innocent women and children being burned alive and knowing that he and Alma have the priesthood power to stoop it, he has faith that its the lord will not to envoke that power to save them. Yet Amuleck doesn't waiver in his faith after watching that horrific scene.
Why was he so solid so fast? What did he do to hold tight to his faith no matter what tragedy he witnesses or experiences?
He is my hero!
