D&C 25
In a revelation to Emma Smith, I sense the love and promises of the Savior as He tells her -
"HEARKEN unto the voice of the Lord your God, while I speak unto you, Emma Smith, my daughter; for verily I say unto you, all those who receive my gospel are sons and daughters in my kingdom." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 25:1)
In my mind, "my daughter" suggests eternal life in that we may become His sons and daughters as we are spiritually born of Him. But there are conditions as He continues -
"Keep my commandments continually, and a crown of righteousness thou shalt receive. And except thou do this, where I am you cannot come." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 25:15)
The Lord then adds -
"...verily, verily, I say unto you, that this is my voice unto all..." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 25:16)
So these words apply to all of us that desire these blessings.
