Resurrection and Eternal Destiny

The Book of Mormon teaches a clear and unmistakable doctrine on the resurrection and our eternal destiny, based on whether our thoughts, words, deeds, and hearts have been oriented toward good or evil. From The Book of Mormon, Mosiah 16, Abinadi, a subject of the king turned prophet, in shackles, teaches and testifies of Christ before a tribunal of priests and a king who seek to find an excuse to kill him because of the things he has preached:

 11 If they be good, to the resurrection of endless life and happiness; and if they be evil, to the resurrection of endless damnation, being delivered up to the devil, who hath subjected them, which is damnation—  

 12 Having gone according to their own carnal wills and desires; having never called upon the Lord while the arms of mercy were extended towards them; for the arms of mercy were extended towards them, and they would not; they being warned of their iniquities and yet they would not depart from them; and they were commanded to repent and yet they would not repent. 

God always extends His hand of mercy towards me. He wants me to enjoy the resurrection of the just, even endless life and happiness. Will I draw near to Him and take His hand and follow Him? That is what remains to be seen, and I hope my life can show that yes, I will!
