God always adheres to justice when Christ’s mercy cannot be applied based on the choices individuals make.
“…The Lord redeemeth none such that rebel against him and die in their sins; yea, even all those that have perished in their sins ever since the world began, that have willfully rebelled against God, that have known the commandments of God, and would not keep them….For salvation cometh to none such; for the Lord hath redeemed none such; yea, neither can the Lord redeem such; for he cannot deny himself; for he cannot deny justice when it has its claim.” (Mosiah 15:26-27)
Questions:
-Do you believe it is right that God holds each person responsible for what he or she knows and how he or she acts in relation to that knowledge?
-What causes people to willfully rebel against the gospel knowledge they have?
