Yes, resty, we should remember that we are ALL fallible and subject to sin. Not one of us is perfect. We are ALL guilty. Only Christ’s atonement will remove the penalty of our sin and bring us in communion with God the Father. None of our works of goodness can add to the perfection we find in the blood of Christ - not one ordinance or covenant can add to the work of the atonement.

Thanks for the reminder resty, and God have mercy on the souls of those who think they can earn their own way to exaltation and glory!

That is misnomer not one LDS believes they can earn their way to exaltation and glory!

What a child of God is asked to do is.

The Lord has said

Keep my commandments did He not?

John 15:10
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

Proverbs 3:1
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

Proverbs 7:1
My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.

Psalms 89:31
If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

Proverbs 4:4
He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

The Lord also Said

Feed my Sheep did he not?

17He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my bsheep
