41:3 - "...And it is requisite with the justice of God that men should be judged according to their works; and if their works were good in this life, and the desires of their hearts were good, that they should also, at the last day, be restored unto that which is good..."
President Ezra Taft Benson has said about this, "Thoughts lead to acts, acts lead to habits, habits lead to character—and our character will determine our eternal destiny."
Our works and actions are right in the middle, and it is essential to start long before it reaches that point by keeping our desires and thoughts clean.
41:6 - "...if he hath repented of his sins, and desired righteousness until the end of his days, even so he shall be rewarded unto righteousness..."
With faith, desire may come. With desire, acting in faith and repentance will come. As we do these things, we will be led closer and closer to Christ and be lifted up at the last day.
41:10 - "...Do not suppose, because it has been spoken concerning restoration, that ye shall be restored from sin to happiness. Behold, I say unto you, wickedness never was happiness..."
It may look good now, but in the end, it will ensnare you and lead you carefully away down to hell (2 Nephi 28:21).
