Alma 34:32 "For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors."
How do we prepare to meet God?
-By strengthening our testimonies
Once you are truly converted, you will always be a missionary.
We need to become worthy of the temple, celestial kingdom and of an eternal companion.
We all need to be prepared everyday because the second coming could come anyday.
We also need to be prepared against our enemies.
D&C 27:15-18 "Wherefore, lift up your hearts and rejoice, and gird up your loins, and take upon you my whole armor, that ye may be able to withstand the evil day, having done all, that ye may be able to stand. Stand, therefore, having your lins girt about with truth, having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, which I have sent mine angels to commit unto you; Taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked; And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of my Spirit, which I will pour out upon you, and my word which I reveal unto you, and be agreed as touching all things whatsoever ye ask of me, and be faithful until I come, and ye shall be caught up, that where I am ye shall be also. Amen"
Four major defenses:
1) Loins girded with truth
2) Breastplate of righteousness over heart
3) Feet shod with gospel of peace
4) Head guarded with helmet of salvation
also... the shield of faith, and the sword of the Spirit
1 Nephi 15:24 "And I said unto them that it was the word of God; and whoso would hearken unto the word of God, and would hold fast unto it, they would never perish; neither could the temptations and the fiery darts of the adversary overpower them unto blindness, to lead them away to destraction."
