“That They May Go No More Out”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
That is: “May they, through God’s help, stay faithful and forever intact in the fold of the Good Shepherd. May they never wander from the strait and narrow path.” Mortality is a probationary estate in which even the sanctified are warned to take heed lest they fall (see D&C 20:34). Those who in death obtain paradise, or the rest of the Lord, are no longer in a probationary estate. For the faithful, the day of probation ends at the time of death. Satan can no longer have any power over them. (See Robert L. Millet and Joseph Fielding McConkie, The Life Beyond, pp. 140-41.)
