From this faith arose the many revelations included in the Doctrine and Covenants for the church in general and many more revelations to individual Saints and their families following this early example.
Of the many things we can learn from the 1832 revelation we know as Section 76, is how to prepare ourselves to live in a way that is conducive to answered prayer and the active instruction of the Spirit of the Lord.
According to the testimony of Joseph Smith Jr. and Sidney Rigdon, the Lord revealed the details of the eternal judgment awaiting the children of Adam and how to prepare ourselves.
The editors have gathered a variety of articles on this topic. We pray you will find them useful and edifying.
