A two-verse discourse on the doctrine of agency, an indispensable principle of eternal life. It is our choice: we choose good or evil, and life or death. We are not victims of our genes or our environment. We can obey despite what we may have been born with (or without) or despite the homes into which we came. Whatever we choose, we get the corresponding natural consequence, the blessing or the punishment. It is the law of the harvest, or the law of restoration. See Alma’s treatment of the same subject in Alma 41.
