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.

Isaiah 29:11 states, " and the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed , which men deliver to one that is learned , saying, read this, I pray thee:and he saith, it is sealed: and the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying read this I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned."
Joseph Smith was given power of God at age of 21to translate golden plates of writings which later became published as the Book of Mormon.
2 Nephi 33:10 states " and if ye shall believe in Christ ye will believe in these words, for they are the words of Christ,...and they teach all men that they should do good."
Moroni 10:4 states, " and when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost."

Much is feared in disobeying Heavenly Father for if we persist on grieving his spirit with our sin, He will cause sore affliction, famine, pestilence, and heavy burdens that hurts us to the core and to our family.  Heavenly Father and atonement of Jesus Christ is our only source of redeeming love and all happiness in this life and in the next.  Our very life, peace, and joy depends on blessings we acquire by obedience unto wisdom and truth of His ever guiding words in His book.  The welfare of those we care for are blessed in our blessings and snare in our cursings.  All can be lost to us in love of our family, our possessions, all that is pure, and well being of our soul in eternity.  Yet by atonement of Jesus Christ we can choose the path back to Heavenly Father at any given time that we choose to repent and be made clean and whole before Him.  We are eternal beings made by our Eternal Father and we have the freedom to choose in our hearts to overcome our momentary troubles and our weaknesses with righteousness and reap eternal blessings on the judgement day.

Our Heavenly Father has said in Mosiah 11:23, " Except this people repent and turn unto The Lord their God, they shall be brought into bondage; and none shall deliver them, except it be The Lord the Almighty God."  When we don't heed to Christ's words in the way we should learn, live, and be, our natural body and mind attempts to seek fulfillment in things of the world causing us to become slaves to addictions, self pride and become bondage to people who wants to bring our spirits down along with them.  Our Heavenly Father is slow to anger and is very patient in us attaining spiritual progress, yet when we continually deny His words by disobeying Him, we are left without protective guard against satan's influence and merciful blessings in our daily lives.  We can return to Him at any moment that we choose to obey His word and be forgiven of all our sins with repentant heart.
