What does it mean to be judged of mortal deeds?

Thomas R. Valletta

“God is sincere in trying to promote their [those outside of the Church] happiness and welfare as well as he is ours, both in regard to this world and the world to come. And hence he will do the best he possibly can with all peoples. But … being governed by law, he can only treat them ‘according to the deeds done in the body, whether those deeds be good or evil’ [JST, 2 Corinthians 5:10]. And when that judgment takes place all men will have to abide its award; there is no appeal from it. No court to which they can have access whereby they can change the decree of the Almighty” (John Taylor, in Journal of Discourses, 20:111).
