Therefore, my son, see that ye are merciful unto your brethren. If ye do all of these things then ye shall have mercy. Ye shall have a righteous judgment restored unto you. But is it not injustice that the sinner should stay in a state of misery? The great plan of mercy could not be brought about except an atonement should be made; therefore God Himself atoneth for the sins of the world, to bring about the plan of mercy, to appease the demands of justice, that God might be a perfect, just God, and a merciful God also. And the atonement bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead; and the resurrection of the dead bringeth back men into the presence of God; and thus they are restored into His presence, to be judged according to their works, according to the law and justice. Justice exerciseth all his demands, and also mercy claimeth all which is her own; and thus, none but the truly penitent are saved. Do ye suppose that mercy can rob justice? Nay; not one whit.

And now, my son, I desire that ye should let these things trouble you no more, and only let your sins trouble you, with that trouble which shall bring you down unto repentance. O my son, I desire that ye should deny the justice of God no more. Do not endeavor to excuse yourself in the least point because of your sins, by denying the justice of God; but do you let the justice of God, and His mercy, and His long-suffering have full sway in your heart, to bring you down into the dust in humility. Now, my son, ye are called of God to preach the word unto this people. And now go thy way, declare the word with truth and soberness, that thou mayest bring souls unto repentance, that the great plan of mercy may have claim upon them. May God grant unto you even according to my words.
