"The commandments of our Lord, we hope are constantly revolving in your hearts, teaching you, not only His will in proclaiming His Gospel, but His meekness and perfect walk before all, even in those times of severe persecutions and abuse which were heaped upon Him by a wicked and adulterous generation. Remember, brethren (sisters), that He has called you unto holiness; and need we say, to be like Him in purity? How wise, how holy; how chaste, and how perfect, then, you ought to conduct yourselves in His sight; and remember, too, that His eyes are continually upon you." (Teachings of the Prophets: Joseph Smith, pg. 53)
O, my beloved brethren (sisters), remember the awfulness in transgressing against that Holy God, and also the awfulness of yielding to the enticings of that cunning one, Remember, to be carnally-minded is death, and to be spiritually-minded is life eternal. (2 Nephi 9:39)
Therefore, cheer up your hearts, and remember that ye are free to act for yourselves--to choose the way of everlasting death or the way of eternal life. Wherefore, my beloved brethren (sisters), reconcile yourselves to the will of God, and not to the will of the devil and the flesh; and remember, after ye are reconciled unto God, that it is only in and through the grace of God that ye are saved. Wherefore, may God raise you from death by the power of the resurrection, and also from everlasting death by the power of the atonement, that ye may be received into the eternal kingdom of God, that ye may praise him through grace divine. Amen. (2 Nephi 10:23-25)
I know the most important thing we can do in this life is to keep the commandments and follow the prophet. Doing these things will bring us joy and eternal life.
