Love vs. Fear

“They who dwell in his presence are the church of the Firstborn; and they see as they are seen, and know as they are known, having received of his fulness and of his grace;” (Doctrine and Covenants 76:94).

We will see God in our exalted state and we will be like Him.  How different is God’s perspective today?  All things are continually before His face (“He comprehendeth all things, and all things are before him, and all things are round about him; and he is above all things, and in all things, and is through all things, and is round about all things; and all things are by him, and of him, even God, forever and ever. Doctrine and Covenants 88:41).  Can He see us in our exalted state, today?  Can He see others in their eternal state?  Can we see as we are seen, now?  Can we see others are they are seen, now?  Viewing the world through the eyes of God, now!  All other perspectives are shallow and baseless when compared to this exalted view.

How can we gain this exalted view while in mortality?  The Holy Ghost grants us access to the will of the Father. 

The adversary’s goal is to keep us from this eternal perspective.  When our perspective and desires leave ourselves we are freed from sin and this influence is thwarted.
