Joseph Smith taught that it is possible for mortal man to make his calling and election sure to celestial glory and power in the resurrection and thereby obtain the more sure word of prophecy by which he may know that he is sealed unto eternal life. This is one of the major objectives of the gospel, and it is open to every person who will embrace the gospel and apply the program of salvation in his life. The Prophet therefore exhorted the Saints “Oh! I beseech you to go forward, go forward and make your calling and your election sure; and if any man preach any other Gospel than that which I have preached, he shall be cursed.” There are two ways by which man may achieve this objective. One is to endure faithful in the gospel to the end of this mortal probation. The other is to persist in applying the principles and powers of the gospel to such an extent that the guarantee of eternal life is given before mortal death, qualified by the fact that man can break the seal by committing the unpardonable sin.Share
