Elder Gerrit W. Gong - Happy and Forever

 As Elder Gong addressed "Happy and Forever", what caught my attention were -

"...Temple ordinances do not of themselves change us or those in the spirit world. But these divine ordinances enable sanctifying covenants with the Lord, which can bring harmony with Him and each other."

"Our joy becomes full as we feel Jesus Christ’s grace and forgiveness for us. And as we offer the miracle of His grace and forgiveness to each other, the mercy we receive and the mercy we offer can help make life’s injustices just."

"...The Lord “will judge [us] according to [our] works, according to the desire of [our] hearts.”11 Our souls bear record of our works and desires."

"In contrast, those who deliberately choose wickedness, who consciously procrastinate repentance, or who in any premeditated or knowing way break the commandments, planning for easy repentance, will be judged by God and a “bright recollection of all [their] guilt.”14 We cannot knowingly sin on Saturday, then expect automatic forgiveness by partaking of the sacrament on Sunday..."

"We find heaven’s sociality in each other. God’s work and glory include bringing to pass happy and forever.  Eternal life and exaltation are to know God and Jesus Christ so, through godly power, where They are we shall be."
