Exegesis

I think what Amulek is saying in verse 13 is that in the Law of Moses, there must be "an eye for an eye" for there to be justice. But when Christ dies for all of our sins, we do not have to rely on the Law of Moses, because we have the atonement and the mercy of God.

In verse 39 Amulek tells us that if we pray continually, we will stay close to the Lord. I truly believe that whether we are praying or not shows us in what direction we are going.
