“How goes your efforts to earn your salvation today SD?”
If I actually thought I had to “earn” my salvation, I would be up the creek for sure! No way I could ever be good enough. Jesus would have died in vain. But - praise God - the Atoning Sacrifice of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, made it possible for me to be saved. Hooray!
Then why are you still a mormon SD? Your AoF which you like to post on occasion states:
3. We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
Ok SD, what are 'obedience to laws and ordinances'? Those are works - ya gotta do the works BEFORE the atonement takes effect SD. Made it 'possible' only after ALL the works and you are perfect. Still don't believe it is works SD - here are what YOUR scriptures say on the matter -
D&C 18:46 "And after that you have received this, if you keep not my commandments you cannot be saved in the kingdom of my Father"
Keeping the commandments = works SD, the atonement doesn't matter here.
D&C 76:52 “That by keeping the commandments they might be washed and cleansed from all their sins...”
Incase you didn't notice here SD, the atoning sacrifice of Jesus doesn't remove your sins - 'obeying the commandments' - works - is what does it.
Yes SD, for you it makes it possible for you to be 'saved', but you have to do the work to prove yourself worthy to be saved. So how goes your efforts to earn your salvation today SD? Or are you committing the same sins over and over again. Remember SD MORONI 10:32 states it clearly that you must have ALL ungodliness removed from your life BEFORE his grace sufficient for you. Don't believe me, look it up.
