“The Final Judgment is not just an evaluation of a sum total
of good and evil acts—what we have done,”
taught Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “It is an
acknowledgment of the final effect of our acts and thoughts—what we have become. It is not enough for anyone just
to go through the motions. The commandments, ordinances, and covenants of the
gospel are not a list of deposits required to be made in some heavenly account.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is a plan that shows us how to become what our
Heavenly Father desires us to become.”
Dallin H. Oaks, “The Challenge to Become,” Ensign, Nov. 2000, 32.
