Mosiah 27

Mosiah, in all his wisdom, gave -

"...a strict command throughout all the churches that there should be no persecutions among them, that there should be an equality among all men;
4 That they should let no pride nor haughtiness disturb their peace; that every man should esteem his neighbor as himself, laboring with their own hands for their support.
5 Yea, and all their priests and teachers should labor with their own hands for their support, in all cases save it were in sickness, or in much want; and doing these things, they did abound in the grace of God.
6 And there began to be much peace again in the land..." (Book of Mormon | Mosiah 27:3 - 6)

It appears the "equality" spoken was an equality of freedom, opportunity, and and responsibility for self-reliance. As the people were given this opportunity and responsibility -

"...the Lord did visit them and prosper them, and they became a large and wealthy people." (Book of Mormon | Mosiah 27:7)

Even in Mosiah's day, when we keep the commandments and and industrious, and invisible hand seems to provide an improved and properous society. I also noticed that there was still a responsibility to to care for those that could not be self-reliat such as those that -

"...were in sickness, or in much want; and doing these things, they did abound in the grace of God." (Book of Mormon | Mosiah 27:5)

I see this responsibility falling on the Church and people, not necessarily the role of government.

The main topic of this chapter was the conversion of Alma (son of Alma) and the sons of Mosiah. These were unbelieving young men going to destroy the Church and living in all manner of inquity. As they did, much like Paul, and angel appeared revealing -

"Behold, the Lord hath heard the prayers of his people, and also the prayers of his servant, Alma, who is thy father; for he has prayed with much faith concerning thee that thou mightest be brought to the knowledge of the truth; therefore, for this purpose have I come to convince thee of the power and authority of God, that the prayers of his servants might be answered according to their faith." (Book of Mormon | Mosiah 27:14)

I note that Alma's father not only prayed, but prayed "in much faith". Even all the Lord's servants prayed in faith to protect the saints of God. Their prayers were not necessarily that Alma would repent, only that Alma would come to a "knowledge of the truth" - in in other words, receive a testimony. Agency and conversion was then left to Alma. As Alma used his agency to repent and be converted he testifies -

"...I have repented of my sins, and have been redeemed of the Lord; behold I am born of the Spirit.
25 And the Lord said unto me: Marvel not that all mankind, yea, men and women, all nations, kindreds, tongues and people, 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;
26 And thus they become new creatures; and unless they do this, they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God." (Book of Mormon | Mosiah 27:24 - 26)

It seems that all three members of the Godhead can be considered a "father" in some aspect as we learn that Alma was "born of the Spirit".
