Every Soul Who Belongs to the Whole Human Family of Adammust Stand to Be Judged

Bryan Richards

Neal A. Maxwell

"Not only are there individual moments of truth, but there are also collective. As we are meek, we will have a perspective about that moment yet to come when the 'whole human family of Adam' will stand before the judgment seat of Christ. (Mormon 3:20.) But with meekness also comes sober realization that we are our 'own judges, whether to do good or evil.' (Alma 41:7.) If we are meek, our minds will not be darkened, and we can judge rightly because it is 'given unto [us] to judge, that [we] may know good from evil; and the way to judge is as plain . . . as the daylight from the dark night.' (Moroni 7:15.) At that remarkable, sobering, and exhilarating moment, yet future, there will be no proud grievances with the justice of God. '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.' (Mosiah 16:1.)" (Meek and Lowly, p. 58)
