“Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.”
Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 31:20
Enduring to the end is a personal responsibility. You are expected to “work out your own salvation” (Philippians 2:12) relying on the merits and mercy of the Savior and His Atonement. As you continue to live the gospel, you will grow closer to your Heavenly Father, enjoy and appreciate the Atonement of the Savior, and experience greater feelings of the love, joy, and peace that come from the Atonement. Your heart will be changed, your family will draw closer together, and you will find security in living the restored gospel. As you continue to exercise faith in Christ, repent from your sins, and renew your covenants, you will enjoy continued guidance from the Holy Ghost. If you endure to the end of your life and stay true to your covenants, you will receive eternal life.
