There is a power in living “blameless” that cannot otherwise be known. “Beloved, if our heart condemn us not,” wrote the Apostle John, ’then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.“ (1 John 3:21-22).
In like manner Joseph Smith taught that if we will ’let virtue garnish” our thoughts unceasingly our confidence will “wax strong in the presence of God” and heavenly knowledge will distill upon our souls as the dews from heaven (see D&C 121:45). The Saints of God are acknowledged to be blameless by the only truly blameless one, the Redeemer. This designation they receive not because they never erred, but because of their trust in him and their willingness to keep his commandments and to give themselves in service to his people (see D&C 4:2; D&C 84:61 )
