What Can I Do Now to Prepare to Meet God? Brother Moses E., July 14th, 2024

Speaking of the three kingdoms of glory with his prophetic vision, President Russell M. Nelson recently wrote:

“My purpose tonight is to make sure your eyes are wide open to the truth; that this life really is the time when you get to decide what kind of life you get to live forever. 

Now is your time to prepare to meet God.

Mortal lifetime is barely a nanosecond compared with eternity. But what a crucial nanosecond it is!

Consider carefully how it works: During this mortal life you get to choose which laws you are willing to obey—those of the celestial kingdom, or the terrestrial, or the telestial—and, therefore, in which kingdom of glory you will live forever.

Every righteous choice you make here will pay huge dividends now; but righteous choices in mortality will pay unimageable dividends eternally.”

Russell M. Nelson, Heart of the Matter (2023), page 45.

What a plan! It is a plan that completely honors your agency.”22

1 Nephi, Chapter 3 -

Therefore go, my son, and thou shalt be favored of the Lord, because thou hast not murmured.

And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.

October 2023 General Conference – Think Celestial.

Here is the great news of God’s plan: the very things that will make your mortal life the best it can be, are exactly the same things that will make your life throughout all eternity the best it can be!

Today, to assist you to qualify for the rich blessings Heavenly Father has for you, I invite you to adopt the practice of “thinking celestial”!7 Thinking celestial means being spiritually minded. We learn from the Book of Mormon prophet Jacob that “to be spiritually-minded is life eternal.”8

Mortality is a master class in learning to choose the things of greatest eternal import. Far too many people live as though this life is all there is. However, your choices today will determine three things: where you will live throughout all eternity, the kind of body with which you will be resurrected, and those with whom you will live forever. So, think celestial.”
