God wants us to go back home, to be in his presence, to live with him forever. He sent Jesus Christ to perform the ultimate sacrifice so that we would have a way to take the decision to want to go back to his presence. Through the atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ, we will rise from the tomb and conquer death, disease, illnesses, and every aspect of mortality once and for all.

The atonement has such great power in every person’s life that can transform us from bad to good and from good to better, it can also help us heal when we are hurt and forgive to those that hurt us. Through the atonement, the prophet Joseph Smith was delivered many times from the hands of his enemies. We can also put off the natural man and be more pure and worthy of the blessings we are entitled to.

The Prophet Russell M Nelson has said “in coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost.” How do we improve spiritually? Primarily, by being worthy of the spirit who will guide us, we should pray to the Lord that his atonement will cleanses us.

We have been given the opportunity to come down to earth and receive a body through which we should learn from mistakes and improve, it is a time for probation to see if we will follow God’s commandments. It is up to us what actions we take to each problem or decision we choose. One day, the Lord will call us to be judged by our actions, thoughts, words, etc. Alma42:4

Is it possible that God will point his finger at us saying that we did things wrong? Maybe, the following is my personal belief: I think that on that day, the only judge that we will receive is from ourselves. We will have a perfect memory of all our life knowing that we are before a perfect and pure being (God), therefore, we will judge ourselves according to the life we chose to live here.

Let us celebrate that we are still alive, that we can change and improve our lives. The Lord will help us out on the way if we are faithful.
