"And now, I speak also concerning those who do not believe in Christ. Behold, will ye believe in the day of your visitation — behold, when the Lord shall come, yea, even that great day when the earth shall be rolled together as a scroll, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, yea, in that great day when ye shall be brought to stand before the Lamb of God — then will ye say that there is no God?
"Then will ye longer deny the Christ, or can ye behold the Lamb of God? Do ye suppose that ye shall dwell with him under a consciousness of your guilt? Do ye suppose that ye could be happy to dwell with that holy Being, when your souls are racked with a consciousness of guilt that ye have ever abused his laws?" (Mormon 9:1-3)
There are those who count us foolish because we believe in God. I am certain there are many among us who know people who do not believe in Jesus Christ as the literal Savior of all mankind. Some of these people are even able to convince others that believing in things holy are farcical. The fact of the matter is that in the end, those opinions will not matter. At some point, every individual - regardless of their opinions today - will face our Father and have to account for their actions. I hope that when we face opposition from those who choose not to believe, we will take comfort in the fact that we will one day receive a reward according to our faithfulness.
