3. These plates of brass … have the … holy scriptures upon them.4. It has been prophesied … that they should be kept and preserved by
the hand of the Lord.

8. It has … been wisdom in God … for … they have … convinced many of the error of their ways, and brought them to the knowledge of their God
unto the salvation of their souls. Alma 37

Alma told Helaman that if he kept the commandments, God would bless him and help him protect the records. p 82

Why did the brass plates need to be
protected?
![Page 9: O remember learn wisdom in thy youth](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a1d5a61a28abfb318b46a0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Alma told Helaman that the plates contained the history of the people. It told about when they began to do “works of darkness … all their murders, and robbings, and
their plunderings, and all their wickedness and abominations” v 21
![Page 10: O remember learn wisdom in thy youth](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a1d5a61a28abfb318b46a0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
22. For behold, the Lord saw that his people began to work in darkness; … therefore the Lord said, if they did not repent they should be destroyed from off the face of the earth.26. And now, my son, we see that they did not repent; therefore they have been destroyed, and thus far the word of God has been fulfilled;
![Page 11: O remember learn wisdom in thy youth](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a1d5a61a28abfb318b46a0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Alma passed the brass plates to Helaman to record God’s instructions for the people. In other times, Heavenly
Father guided his people with different kinds of scriptures such as the Liahona.
![Page 12: O remember learn wisdom in thy youth](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a1d5a61a28abfb318b46a0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
38. Our fathers, call a ball or director—or our fathers called it Liahona,39. It was prepared to show unto our fathers the course which they should travel in the
wilderness. 40. And it did work for them according to their faith in God; … if they had faith to
believe … [it] would point the way they should go.

44. It is as easy to give heed to the word of Christ ... as it was for our fathers to give heed to this compass, which would point unto them a
straight course to the promised land.

20. Therefore I command you, my son Helaman, that ye be diligent in fulfilling all my words, and that ye be diligent in keeping the
commandments of God as they are written.

Alma tells Helaman that he has been called to33. Preach unto them repentance and faith on the Lord
Jesus Christ;
![Page 16: O remember learn wisdom in thy youth](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a1d5a61a28abfb318b46a0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
teach them … to be meek and lowly in heart; teach them to withstand every temptation of the devil, with their faith on
the Lord Jesus Christ.
What does it mean to be “meek and lowly in heart”?

34. Teach them to never be weary of good works, but to be meek and lowly in heart;

36. Yea, cry unto God for all thy support; yea, let all they doings be unto the Lord … let the affections of thy heart be placed upon the
Lord forever.
