Alma may not have noticed it at first but the message from the angel telling him “Marvel not that all mankind … must be born again; yea, born of God, changed from their carnal and fallen state, to a state of righteousness, being redeemed of God, becoming his sons and daughters; And thus they become new creatures” was a message that would bring hope to Alma.
Whenever he decided that he wanted to be relieved of his guilty past he could naturally take hope in the message that those who are redeemed of God are new creatures and that everyone needs to undergo this transformation.
