God wants us to know we are saved, for saved people are dangerous people, willing to face off with the world, unafraid of the consequences since they know that, whatever happens, they will have eternal life.

About This Quote

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the only Christian church that teaches that we will be punished for our sins in the afterlife. Other Christian churches teach that we will be rewarded for our good deeds in the afterlife. On the other hand, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches that since we are already perfect they cannot punish us for our sins in this life. This is why the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches that saved people are dangerous people, they will face off with the world, unafraid of the consequences since they know that, whatever happens, they will have eternal life.

The doctrines of other Christian churches are based on fear and guilt, so their teachings do not allow for anyone to be truly happy in this life, only in the next one after death when you get your reward or punishment. Sudden death is also a fear in these religions, where you will never know when you will die. So when you die suddenly without warning or pain it’s hard to understand what it means to be “saved” because there was no warning or opportunity to repent.
