“By obedience to God’s commandments, we can qualify for that ‘house’ spoken of by Jesus when He declared: “In my Father’s house are many mansions. … I go to prepare a place for you … that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:2-3)” (Thomas S. Monson, “An Invitation to Exaltation,” Ensign (Conference Edition), May 1988, p. 54. Ellipses in original).
“God our Father, and Jesus Christ, our Lord, have marked the way to perfection. They beckon us to follow eternal verities and to become perfect, as they are perfect (see Matthew 5:48; 3 Nephi 12:48)” (Thomas S. Monson, “An Invitation to Exaltation,” Ensign (Conference Edition), May 1988, p. 54).
Here are 2 quotes from Thomas s. Monson. Now the question I have is, if members of the LDS clam to Believe in the Bible then what about these verse?
6 Now if by grace, then it is not by works; otherwise grace ceases to be grace. Romans 11:6 (HCSB)
justification: The act of God as judge that declares sinners (who were in the "wrong") to be "right" or righteous in His sight. He is just in doing this because Jesus died on the cross to take away their sins and to give them His own righteousness (2 Cor 5:21). The sinner receives this justification by faith and by grace when he trusts Christ's work.
Jesus did the work, we only have to have faith and repent of our sins and we are saved.
For all who call on the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:13
If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation. Romans 10:9-10 (HCSB)
Looks like the bible says something else.
END OF LINE…
