I beseech you to go forward and make your calling and your election sure

It is little wonder then that the Prophet Joseph Smith, particularly during the latter and crowning years of his mortal ministry, repeatedly exhorted the saints to press forward with that steadfastness in Christ which would enable them to make their calling and election sure. “I am going on in my progress for eternal life,” he said of himself; and then in fervent pleading to all the saints, he exclaimed: “Oh! I beseech you to go forward, go forward and make your calling and your election sure.” (Teachings, p. 366.)
