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)

5: Man is accountable to Heavenly Father

Man is accountable before Heavenly Father and His irrevocable laws (D&C 130:18-21; 82:10; Jer. 26:4; Mosiah 5:13; Alma 37:36-37). These laws determine the outcomes of his chosen thoughts, feelings, and actions. Choose wisely and growth, happiness and wisdom are a result. Choose unwisely and retraction, unhappiness and ignorance are a result. Because we cannot suspend entirely our thoughts, feelings, and actions we are always either moving closer of further from Heavenly Father at any given moment. There really is no grey area or standing still. (Matt 6:24; Alma 5:39-42)
