The best way we can prepare for the Savior’s coming is to accept the teachings of the gospel and make them part of our lives. We should live each day the best we can, just as Jesus taught when He was on the earth. We can look to the prophet for guidance and follow his counsel. We can live worthy to have the Holy Ghost guide us. Then we will look forward to the Savior’s coming with happiness and not with fear. The Lord said: “Fear not, little flock, the kingdom is yours until I come. Behold, I come quickly. Even so. Amen” (D&C 35:27).
Loads of good advice in there!
- Accept the Teachings of the Gospel and Make Them Part of Your Life
- Live Each Day the Best You Can (That'll be a tough one. =/ )
- Look to the Prophet for Guidance and Follow His Counsel.
- Live Worthy to Have the Holy Ghost Guide You (Another toughy, especially as it implies that we should learn to recognize and follow His promptings as well as living worthily enough to receive them.)
Then the Promise:
"Then we will look forward to the Savior’s coming with happiness and not with fear." (Emphasis Added)
This is basically saying that the best way to prepare for the second coming is to be the best people we know how to be, and follow the guidance of those who know how we can be better. Part of the purpose of earth life is personal improvement. I think that as long as we're trying to improve ourselves, we're on the right track.
