July 3, 2017, "Eternal Judge"


Email to Family and Friends
            Brother Bailey got released from being our Ward Mission Leader this last week. He was known throughout the whole mission for being the best Ward Mission Leader in the Mission. It was said but we still live in the same building so we still see him every day!
            We were in Haver for a few days this week for exchanges, we had lots of fun experiences while we were there. Elder Tucker and I have been trying to teach our Zone a lot how to find with faith. And we do training on it when we go on exchanges, and every time, miracles happen!
             This area is just so prepared! There are so many wonderful friends here who are ready and happy to hear the glad tidings announced from the hill Cumorah, even God the Father announcing the Restoration. I love being here!
           
"Eternal Judge" 

            Abinadi once declared to the wicked priests of King Noah "The time shall come when all shall see the salvation of the Lord; when every nation, kindred, tongue, and people shall see eye to eye and shall confess before God that his judgments are just." (1)
            The redeemed young Alma rejoiced when he said "Yea, every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess before him. Yea, even at the last day, when all men shall stand to be judged of him, then shall they confess that he is God; then shall they confess, who live without God in the world, that the judgment of an everlasting punishment is just upon them; and they shall quake, and tremble, and shrink beneath the glance of his all-searching eye." (2)
             These are 2 of my favorite scriptures! God is merciful! In the day of Judgment the Lord says "Verily I say unto you, notwithstanding your sins, my bowels are filled with compassion towards you. I will not utterly cast you off; and in the day of wrath I will remember mercy." (3)
              Brethren and sisters, my message to you is to come unto Christ and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness. May we look forward to the pleasing bar of the great Jehovah, the Eternal Judge, amen.
