Honesty Is a Principle of Salvation
Complete honesty is necessary for our salvation. President Brigham
Young An Apostle of the
Lord has said: "Honesty is a principle of salvation in the kingdom
of God. . . . Just as no man or woman can be saved
without baptism, so no one can be saved without
honesty" (Mark E.
Petersen, in Conference Report, Oct. 1971, p. 63; or Ensign, Dec.
1971, p. 72) "If we accept salvation on the terms it is offered
to us, we have got to be honest in every thought, in our reflections, in
our meditations, in our private circles, in our deals, in our
declarations, and in every act of our lives" (Teachings of
Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young [1997], 293).
