The intention of this Blog to be a voice for my insights in the Book of Mormon and other scriptures regarding faith in Christ. The mainstream idea of 'willingness' that we all have to some degree, needs to be replaced with the Lord's mandate to believe and do the precepts of the Book of Mormon. 'Willingness' can easily become a cop out for our personal responsibility to seek after righteousness. What are we waiting for?

What are the works I will be judged for?
My faith in Jesus Christ produces a certain kind of work (behavior, deeds, action). One of these 'works' is the change of my inner self. Without grace this is impossible. Read Mosiah 4:1-12. The fruits of the Spirit are my 'works'. They include meekness, humility, a broken heart, acknowledging my nothingness and God's greatness, charity, etc. Since I believe in grace for grace (Helaman 12:24), I must offer up to God something (a grace) to receive a grace from Him. The first grace or offering was a broken heart and contrite spirit. I surrendered. This is a great 'work'. All external works flow from this inner change. This (knowing Christ and He knowing you) is what we will be judged for at the divine tribunal (or not judged as I am encircled in the arms of safety, mercy satisfying the demands of justice) Alma 34:15-16).
