Now Jacob rejoices as he contemplates the victory of those who are redeemed either by taking advantage of the Atonement or by suffering for their own sins until they are considered “redeemed.” Of course those who suffer for their own sins go to one of the lower kingdoms, but still in both cases Satan is deprived of gaining eternal control over the Father’s children. Therefore Jacob cries out:
“O how great the holiness of our God! For he knoweth all things, and there is not anything save he knows it. And he cometh into the world that he may save all men if they will hearken unto his voice; for behold, he suffereth the pains of all men, yea, the pains of every living creature, both men, women, and children, who belong to the family of Adam. And he suffereth this that the resurrection might pass upon all men, that all might stand before him at the great and judgment day. And he commandeth all men that they must repent, and be baptized in his name, having perfect faith in the Holy One of Israel, or they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God. And if they will not repent and believe in his name, and be baptized in his name, and endure to the end, they must be damned; for the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, has spoken it.”
