This, then is our reward if we will
confess Him by whom we have been saved. But in what way will we confess Him? We
confess Him by doing what He says, not transgressing His commandments, and by
honoring Him not only with our lips, but with all our heart and all our mind. …
Let us, then, not only call Him Lord,
for that will not save us. For He says, “Not everyone who says to Me, Lord,
Lord, will be saved, but he that works righteousness.” For that reason,
brethren, let us confess Him by our works, loving one another. …
So let us also, while we are in this
world, repent with our whole heart of the evil deeds
we have done in the flesh, that we may be saved by the Lord, while we have yet
an opportunity of repentance. For after we have gone out of the world, no
further power of confessing or repenting will there belong to us. Wherefore,
brethren, by doing the will of the Father,
and keeping the flesh holy, and observing the commandments of the Lord, we shall
obtain eternal life.
