25 "And behold, he preached the word unto your fathers, And a mighty change was also wrought in their hearts, And they humbled themselves and put their trust in the true and living God.
26 "And behold, they were faithful until the end, therefore, they were saved.
27 "And now behold, I ask of you my brethren of the church, Have ye spiritually been born of God?
28 Have ye received His image in your own countenances?
29 Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?
30 Do ye exercise faith in the redemption of Him who created you?
31 Do you look forward with an eye of faith and view this mortal body raised in immortality? And this corruption raised in incorruption, to stand before God to be judged according to the deeds which hath been done in the mortal body?
32 "I say unto you, can you imagine to yourselves that ye hear the voice of the Lord saying unto you in that day: ' Come unto Me, ye blessed, For behold, your works have been the works of righteousness upon the face of the earth '?
33 "Or do ye imagine to yourselves that ye can lie unto the Lord at that day and say: 'Lord, our works have been righteous works upon the face of the earth, ' And that He will save you?
34 "Or otherwise, can ye imagine yourselves brought before the tribunal of God with your souls filled with guilt and remorse, having a remembrance of all your guilt?
35 Yea, a perfect remembrance of all your wickedness? Yea, a remembrance that ye have set at defiance the commandments of God?
