Isaiah 64:6; “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”
Teachings of Heber J. Grant, Chapter 4, Persistence, pp. 33-41; “If you want to know how to be saved, I can tell you; it is by keeping the commandments of God. No power on earth, no power beneath the earth, will ever prevent you or me or any Latter-day Saint from being saved, except ourselves. We are the archi
tects of our own lives, not only of the lives here, but the lives to come in the eternity.”
