It is true that the manner and quality of life prescribed by the Lord for members of his church is above and beyond what could be understood and appreciated by those outside the faith.
It is equally true that the Church is in the line of its duty, is on a proper and appointed course, and that the kingdom of God on earth (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) will welcome in a future day the kingdom of heaven which is to come.
But all is not well in Zion; indeed, the Lord himself testified that this is “the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth, with which I, the Lord, am well pleased, speaking unto the church collectively and not individually” (D&C 1:30). There is no safety, no true security in being static in one’s spirituality or passive in the fight of faith.
The crown associated with celestial glory is reserved only for those who are valiant in testimony, those courageous in their conduct (see D&C 76:79). Only those members of Christ’s church who count the cost of discipleship, pay whatever price is necessary to be knowledgeable and informed Latter-day Saints, and live according to the highest standards of honesty and integrity qualify to go where God and angels are.
