"Mercy is thus for the repentant, the faithful, the obedient, those who love and serve God. All other fail to escape the clutches of justice. 'Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.' (Matt. 5:7.) 'Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.' (Luke 6:36.) Salvation is the reward of those who conform to the plan of mercy. 'Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.' (Ps. 23:6.)
"So infinite in scope is the plan of mercy that it applies to the living and the dead. Those who did not have the opportunity to subject themselves by repentance to the plan of mercy while in this life, but who would have done so had the opportunity been afforded them, will have their chance in the spirit world; they shall then be saved from the grasp of justice and, reaping the full blessings of mercy, shall go on to celestial reward.
"'There is never a time when the spirit is too old to approach God,' the Prophet said. 'All are within the reach of pardoning mercy, who have not committed the unpardonable sin, which hath no forgiveness, neither in this world, nor in the world to come. There is a way to release the spirits of the dead; that is by the power and authority of the priesthood -- by binding and loosing on earth. This doctrine appears glorious, inasmuch as it exhibits the greatness of divine compassion and benevolence in the extent of the plan of human salvation.' (Teachings, pp. 191-192.)" (Mormon Doctrine, p. 486)
-I really like this quote. It gives me hope and peace to continue to try and move forward in Gods laws. I also like the wording in Alma 42:15 when he calls the Plan of Salvation "the plan of mercy", God will atone for the sins of the world, not just the world though he will atone for my sins.
- We are asked to do a few things in this life of which really shouldn't be that hard especially if we are living worthy of the spirit to be with us. Christ (our God) died for me and for my sins, because of this it is important to always be trying our best and doing what we can to please Him and be like Him someday.
Blessing- Brielle is my little sister, she is such a sweet heart.
