How grateful I am for my Savior, Jesus Christ, atoning for my sins and weakness, my pains and sorrows. Should I not feel so inclined to share my gratitude to others? Should I not feel so inclined to show my gratitude to God by keeping His commands? Yes!"As justice is the child of the fall, so mercy is the offspring of the atonement.” (Elder Bruce R. McConkie,The Promised Messiah, p. 245)
“We are being tested every minute of the day by the choices we make, by the reactions we have, by the things we say, by the things we think about. It's like the ancient Christian doctrine of the two ways, the way to the right and the way to left, whichever they are. You must make the choice, and you may have made the wrong choice every day of your life up until now, but as long as you are here it is still not too late. You can still make the right choice-every minute you can make the right choice. It's never too late to make the right one…We have a time to repent; ‘therefore this life became a probationary state.’ Well, it can't be anything else; it's a time to prepare to meet God. That's why we need the gospel here.” (Hugh Nibley, Teachings of the Book of Mormon, Lecture 48, p. 327)
