Alma speaks about being spiritually born of God

In Alma 5, Alma talks to church members about the need to be spiritually born.

Verse 14 And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have
ye spiritually been born of God? Have ye received his image in your
countenances? Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?
Verse 15 Do ye exercise faith in the redemption of him who created
you? Do you look forward with an eye of faith, and view this mortal
body raised in immortality, and this corruption braised in
incorruption, to stand before God to be judged according to the deeds
which have been done in the mortal body?

If we have not been spiritually born of God, we aren't prepared for
the judgment. One characteristics of a person who is spiritually born
of God is humility. Verse 28 says, "Behold, are ye stripped of pride?
I say unto you, if ye are not ye are not prepared to meet God."
