The Righteous and Repentance in the Latter Days
The term 'righteous' refers to those who strive to do the right thing to the best of their ability, acknowledging their imperfections and relying on God's power for preservation. The hope given by God is for those who are endeavoring to be as good as they can, realizing they are not perfect and cannot save themselves. Despite the adversities and calamities foretold in the scriptures for the latter days, the righteous need not fear as they will be preserved and not perish. Their preservation is not based on their own righteousness, but on God's power. The concept of righteousness is linked with repentance, with righteousness defined as repenting and the unrighteous as those who do not repent. This understanding of righteousness holds significance, especially in the latter days, as it offers the opportunity for all to dwell safely with the Holy One of Israel, provided they repent.
