In the Old Testament it tells us that idols have no power and it is foolish to trust in them. Hab. 2: 18-20 "What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols? Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it. But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him."
In the D&C Joseph Smith was told that the Lord would be with him through all eternity and that a throne had been prepared for him in the kingdom of the Father. Have we lived our lives so that this can be true of us as well? D&C 132: 49 "For I am the Lord thy God, and will be with thee even unto the end of the world, and through all eternity; for verily I seal upon you your exaltation, and prepare a throne for you in the kingdom of my Father, with Abraham your father."
A verse with a thought booklet tells us that we can be redeemed from our sins through the blood of Christ. He suffered for our sins so that we wouldn't have to if we'd be willing to repent. Col. 1: 14 "In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:"
