Doctrine of Covenants 88:22 states, "For he who is not able to abide the law of a celestial kingdom cannot abide a celestial glory." So, if you are going to reach exaltation, you must abide by the celestial law?
President Brigham Young said, "If you obey this law, preserve it inviolate, live according to it, we shall be prepared to enjoy the blessings of a celestial kingdom" (Discourses of Brigham Young, pg. 404).
President Joseph Fielding Smith wrote, "To enter the celestial and obtain exaltation it is necessary that the whole law be kept. . .Do you desire to enter the celestial Kingdom and receive eternal life? Then be willing to keep all of the commandments." (The Way to Perfection, pg. 206).
President Spencer Kimball said that "living all the commandments guarantees total forgiveness of sin and assures one of exaltation" (Miracle, pg.208).
Are Mormons living all the commandments? If not, how do they know they are forgiven?
