Elder David A. Bednar of the quorum of the twelve apostles took the floor during the Sunday afternoon session of the general conference of October 2025 on the responsibility of his own sins and day of judgment. The following is a summary of what he said.
Summary of the elder of the Bednar conversation
In his latest sentence in Mormon’s book, the prophet Moroni describes the final judgment as “pleasant”. Likewise, other prophets describe it as a “glorious day” and an event to anticipate.
On the other hand, other prophetic descriptions refer to the final judgment with terms such as “shame and horrible guilt”, “Dread and Fear” and “endless Misery”.
This striking contrast in language suggests that the doctrine of Christ allowed Moroni and other prophets to wait for this day with hope rather than fear.
“What did Moroni understand that you and I must learn?”
In the Father’s Happiness Plan, the fundamental objectives of the agency’s exercise are to love each other and choose God.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ all invites to know and become something through the just exercise of the moral agency. When work and desires fail, individuals can be saved by the infinite expiation of the Savior.
Learning pious fear invites peace, insurance and confidence on the day of judgment.
“In the end, we are therefore our own judges. No one will need to tell us where to go. In the presence of the Lord, we will recognize what we have chosen to become in mortality and to know by ourselves where we should be in eternity. “
