Humility - requirement to return to heavenly Father's presence

One thing we're supposed to learn in this life is that we must depend on the Lord, be humble. That's the first in a string of verses in Alma 5:

 27 Have ye walked, keeping yourselves ^ablameless before God? Could ye say, if ye were called to die at this time, within yourselves, that ye have been sufficiently ^bhumble? That your garments have been ^ccleansed and made white through the blood of Christ, who will come to ^dredeem his people from their sins?

 28 Behold, are ye stripped of ^apride? I say unto you, if ye are not ye are not prepared to meet God. Behold ye must prepare quickly; for the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand, and such an one hath not eternal life.

 29 Behold, I say, is there one among you who is not stripped of^aenvy? I say unto you that such an one is not prepared; and I would that he should prepare ^bquickly, for the hour is close at hand, and he knoweth not when the time shall come; for such an one is not found guiltless.

 30 And again I say unto you, is there one among you that doth make a ^amock of his brother, or that heapeth upon him persecutions?

This is a great set of verses. Without being humble, Christ can't cleanse us from our sins. It's also critical that we don't have pride, envy or make a mock of those around us. Interesting to see v. 30 - critical for us to be good to those around us. Many otherwise good people mock those around them. That's a problem.
