On our words, our works, and even our thoughts condemning us, see commentary at Mosiah 3:25–26 and at 2 Nephi 9:13–16.
Elder Dallin H. Oaks taught that “the Final Judgment is not just an evaluation of a sum total of good and evil acts—what we have done. It is an acknowledgment of the final effect of our acts and thoughts—what we have become. It is not enough for anyone just to go through the motions. The commandments, ordinances, and covenants of the gospel are not a list of deposits required to be made in some heavenly account. The gospel of Jesus Christ is a plan that shows us how to become what our Heavenly Father desires us to become.” 19
On our not daring to look up at God and wanting the mountains to fall upon us to hide us from his presence, see examples of these anxious feelings in Alma 36:14–15 and Revelation 6:16.
On spiritual death, see commentary at Jacob 3:3–11; and on torments as a lake of fire and brimstone, see commentary at Mosiah 3:27.
The rebellious and wicked will everlastingly remain “as though there had been no redemption made (see also Alma 11:41), in a state where “they cannot die”; that is, there is no annihilation or disintegration of resurrected, perfected elements, so they remain in that unredeemed condition forever. Hell is both a place and a state of mind.
