“A Time to Prepare to Meet God”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
See Alma 34:32. In this life we seek to so live that the Holy Ghost, who is the representative and messenger of the Father and the Son can abide with us. Through that Spirit we come to gain the mind of Christ (see 1 Corinthians 2:16)-to think and feel and act as the Father and the Son would under similar circumstances. Through that Spirit we are justified-pronounced innocent from sin, exonerated from fault and declared free from stain; sanctified-cleansed and purified, made holy and free from the effects of sin; and sealed-tied and bound everlastingly into the family of God. The Holy Ghost prepares us to see and enter the kingdom of God, and then in process of time makes of us Saints, sanctified souls prepared to be with and like our Eternal Sire.
