”Stand Forever” Ep. 20 | The Truth—Where Are You? | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge

There only two places in the world, the path of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and everywhere else. You are either on the path or you’re not. The question should be, “are you on the path?” It doesn’t matter so much where you are on the path, if you are on it and moving forward—that’s the question. If you are, then you are good enough despite your weaknesses, mistakes, and imperfections. It’s that simple. One common belief is all roads lead to heaven. It is a prevalent belief that has done great harm to mankind throughout time. It is as old as the world. Nehor falsely taught “…all mankind should be saved at the last day, and that they need not fear nor tremble,” Moroni saw our day and said “… there shall be many who will say, Do this, or do that, and it mattereth not, for the Lord will uphold such as the last day. But wo unto such, for they are in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity.” Obviously, all churches cannot be true because, although there is some common ground among them, they differ greatly in fundamental doctrine. The only other conclusion is no church is the true church, which means they are all in error. God created all of this, the cosmos, the universe, our solar system, the earth, and every form of life, just to stick us here and let us muddle through? How much sense does that make? Why would He do that? Why create this world for us and then leave us in confusion to stumble along? Why would He not show us the Way and then allow us to choose? If God wants us to return to His presence, if He loves us and wants us to succeed in this life, then would He not make the way clear from the beginning? Yes, He would, and He has.
