Mathew 24;Joseph Smith-M1 states, "At the beginning of Millennial Era, Christ will return unto the earth.  This event will mark the end of the mortal probation of this earth.  The wicked will be removed from the earth and the righteous will be caught up in a cloud while the earth is cleansed.  While no man knows exactly when Christ will come for the second time, He has given us signs to watch for that indicate the time is drawing near."
Mosiah 16:5 states,"But remember that he that persists in his own carnal nature, and goes on in the ways of sin and rebellion against God, remaineth in his fallen state and the devil hath all power over him.  Therefore he is as though there was no redemption made, being an enemy to God; and also is the devil an enemy to God."  Verse 9 states, "Christ is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened; yea, and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more death.
This mortal life is period of probation for we are in fallen state away from Heavenly Father but, we can believe on teachings of Jesus Christ and reap good works for reward of eternal life and judgement     of unending happiness.  Because Christ has paid for our sins, we can repent often and be cleansed of our sins and start over in obeying His commandments.

Jesus Christ was born on earth to redeem all of God's people unto Himself by showing us how we should live as He had lived on earth in flesh body and dying on the cross for our sins. We are to live the life of service, life of studying scriptures, and life of prayer as He had done. In present time we also have blessing of living prophet appointed by Heavenly Father to guide us in these end times.  This will lead us safely home to presence of Heavenly Father where we can live eternally with Him and our families.
Mosiah 15:2-3 says of Jesus Christ, " and because He dwelleth in flesh He shall be called the Son of God, and having subjected the flesh to the will of the Father, being the Father and the Son.
The Father, because he was conceived by the power of God; thus becoming the Father and Son."
Our Lord Jesus Christ came from heaven to fulfill His purpose of redeeming His people through faithfulness and obedience even unto death.  We too can endure to the end with help of His teachings and guidance of His chosen people so that we can fulfill our purpose in walking the path that leads to Heavenly Father's presence, the greatest gift our hearts will ever receive.

The greatest gift of all is eternal life in state of unending happiness.  To obtain this we must sacrifice ourselves to acquiring faith upon the word of God and Jesus Christ by obedience.  Jesus Christ has paid the price of our past, present, and future sins and we can claim the right to forgiveness if we repent and turn from our evil ways.  Our Savior had suffered through much opposition, afflictions, and sufferings in body, mind, and in spirit but He endured to the end remaining perfect in heart and in deed to fulfill His purpose on earth to die as a perfect offering unto Heavenly Father.  We too can persevere to obey Him and to do good despite opposition of evil influence around us to fulfill our purpose.  We will fall in our mistakes and in our weaknesses but our sincere repentance will make us be right with our Heavenly Father and we can continue to progress in  spirit with clear conscious.  Our Father's power to intercede and help in our trials will sustain us no matter how much we suffer in this world.  This life is short but eternal life is long so keep your eyes on the prize of heavenly rewards and bear all things with grace just as our Savior has done.  He is our model, our teacher, our guide to reaching our eternal goal of everlasting happiness.

In Mosiah 13 prophet Abinadi told the people of the sins that they have committed so that it will pierce their hearts and they will turn away from evil.  But the people were " filled with wonder and amazement and with anger" because they hardened their hearts knowing their secret works were revealed.  It is common mistake that when we are found guilty of our wrongs, we sometimes react feeling troubled and upset but it is the plan of God that we turn away from all evil works so that we are not condemned to feel this way on judgement day.  Abinadi also declared that salvation does not come by the law alone but also by atonement of Jesus Christ to take away the sins of His people in verse 8.  The prophet also said the people are quick to sin and slow to remember the Lord their God and that they did not all understand the law after it has been taught and this because of the hardness of their hearts.  Our Heavenly Father knows our thoughts and our intentions so when we ask in sincerity for His forgiveness and a new heart to obey His words, He will answer our prayers as we daily and sincerely seek Him for help.
