Alma 50

"Behold, it came to pass that the son of Nephihah was appointed to fill the judgment-seat, in the stead of his father; yea, he was appointed chief judge and governor over the people, with an oath and sacred ordinance to judge righteously, and to keep the peace and the freedom of the people, and to grant unto them their sacred privileges to worship the Lord their God, yea, to support and maintain the cause of God all his days, and to bring the wicked to justice according to their crime" (Alma 50:39, emphasis added).

What is the cause of God?

"For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man" (Moses 1:39).

We are to support and maintain this cause. Using our individual agency we can bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of ourselves by choosing to follow God's commandments. We can help share the cause of God, the Plan of Happiness, with our fellowmen. We can help create and support laws and traditions that maintains and supports this righteous cause.
