What really matters at the Final Judgment—what we do, or what we become? In this powerful Anchor Point, we explore a profound teaching from Elder David A. Bednar about how our thoughts, choices, and actions shape who we are becoming through Jesus Christ. This conversation dives deep into the doctrine that judgment is not just about a checklist of good and bad works, but about the transformation of our hearts.
If you’ve ever wrestled with concern, uncertainty, or even fear about someone you love—or about your own standing before God—this episode will speak directly to your soul. Through a deeply personal story, we uncover how the Spirit teaches us to see others (and ourselves) the way the Savior does: by their fruits.
This Anchor Point is for anyone seeking peace, clarity, and confidence in their relationship with Jesus Christ. Learn how turning to the scriptures invites personal revelation, calms fear, and strengthens your ability to discern truth. As disciples of Christ, we are not just here to do good—we are here to become like Him.
