Okay, we all need repentance. But the Book of Mormon says that ya don't get grace til you've done all you can do.
I mean I can't even say I've done everything I could do as a parent, let alone as a child of God!
Do you really think you're going to come to a point where you can look with 100% satisfaction at your spiritual and neighborly track record and say, "Yup! I've done all I can do. Go ahead, Lord, open the grace faucet."
“Okay, we all need repentance. But the Book of Mormon says that ya don’t get grace til you’ve done all you can do.”
“All we can do” includes repentance.
Look, let me be very clear: the LDS Church teaches that we are saved by GRACE, contingent on our repentance and earnest efforts to follow Christ. It’s as simple as that.
This record is written in the heart; nobody can tell if you meet this standard except the Lord. That’s why He is the judge.
Not true!!:
Helaman 12:24
And may God grant, in his great fullness, that men might be brought unto repentance and good works, that they might be restored unto grace for grace, according to their works.
We receive grace for grace, according to our obedience and faithfulness. We do all we can do all the time, so it stands to reason that receiving grace for grace is a lifelong process of blessings from God.
This one might help too:
2 Nephi 28:30
For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have.
