Alma 7:6-7

6 But behold, I trust that ye are not in a state of so much unbelief as were your brethren; I trust that ye are not lifted up in the pride of your hearts; yea, I trust that ye have not set your hearts upon riches and the vain things of the world; yea, I trust that you do not worship idols, but that ye do worship the true and the living God, and that ye look forward for the remission of your sins, with an everlasting faith, which is to come.

What did Alma mean by "with an everlasting faith, which is to come"?

I wonder what that means?

I wonder what Alma knew that I do not?

I have a feeling that a future everlasting faith is a wonderful thing. Wait! Did Alma mean the remission of their sins would be to come? Part of that looking forward? I don’t understand. If Christs Atonement is infinite in all ways, including time, then people before Christ’s Atonement received a remission of their sins because of His future atonement. Right? It (He) applies to all, always, infinitely. So, I’m not sure what Alma meant in this verse. I’ll have to ask him when I see him. :)

7 For behold, I say unto you there be many things to come; and behold, there is one thing which is of more importance than they all—for behold, the time is not far distant that the Redeemer liveth and cometh among his people....

Oh! He's going to explain more about what he meant! Yay!
