“Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Reference to the Beatitudes) Matt 5:19
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” (One of the Beatitudes) Matt. 5:6
“Be ye perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect.” (Matt. 5:48)
Only those who keep all the commandments and for whom the family unit continues in eternity will merit perfection. (Mormon Doctrine, McConkie- Perfection, D&C. 131:1-4, 132:16-32)
-“No other success can compensate for failure in the home.” (David O. McKay.) –
"22 And behold, all that he requires of you is to keep his commandments"
-Mosiah 2:22
D&C 59:21 which says you only make god mad if you don't "confess his hand in all things and obey his commandments." Guess that means he is mad at pretty much everyone.
“For straight is the gate, and narrow the way that leadeth unto the exaltation and continuation of the lives, and few there be that find it, because ye receive me not in the world neither do ye know me.” (D&C 132:22)

Advice from Dear Abby:
Why Worry?
There are only two things to worry about:
Either you are well or you are sick.
But if you are sick…
There are only two things to worry about.
Either you are well, or you will die.
If you get well, there’s nothing to worry about.
But if you die, there are only two things to worry about.
Either you go to heaven…or you go to hell.
If you go to heaven, there is nothing to worry about.
But if you go to hell…
You’ll be so busy shaking hands with friends…
You won’t have time to worry.
