6: Perfection Required

Not only do celestial laws govern outcomes of a given thought, feeling, or action but ultimately Heavenly Father himself requires each of us to be perfect in our thoughts, feelings, and actions. No one can return to live with him without first meeting that standard.  Perfection in thoughts, feelings, and actions is the requirement. (Gen 17:1; 1Kgs 8:61; Ps.18:30; Matt 5:48; 3 Ne. 12:48; Col 4:12; 2 Tim 3:17; Heb 12:23; D&C 1:31)
