Believe and be saved the minister said,Believe and be saved and rise from the dead. Through grace ye are saved from sin and from hell, So simply believe and all will be well. The preacher continued and read from the book, How all can reach heaven, both angel and crook. When all had been said and the church recessed; With money collected and everyone blessed; The preacher retired to his spacious new home, In his humble Mercedes with everything chrome. He sat in his study, his thoughts running deep, He dozed for a moment, and died in his sleep.
He ran to Saint Peter and wearing a grin, Said "I believe in the Savior, so please let me in" "Oh no, not another", said Peter with a sigh, "Satan's sure working, the tolls running high." The preacher looked puzzled, then saw in a flash, God's plan for salvation, beginning at last. Believing is nothing, if nothing is done. In getting to Heaven you follow the Son. To follow a leader, you do what is said, Faith without works is nothing but dead. Satan knows Jesus, believes in him too. So what's the difference between the devil and you? Believe in the Savior, but always recall, Faith is important, but sure isn't all.

2 Nephi 28 Bishop Richard C. Edgley: “We cannot say we will sow a few wild oats in our youth or that we will just dabble a little around the fringes of sin. There are no fringes of sin. Every act, good or bad, has a consequence. Every good act improves our ability to do good and more firmly stand against sin or failure. Every transgression, regardless of how minor, makes us more susceptible to Satan’s influence the next time he tempts us.
2 Nephi 28 “Satan takes us an inch at a time, deceiving us as to the consequences of so-called minor sins until he captures us in major transgressions. Nephi describes this technique as one of pacifying, lulling, and flattering us away until Satan ‘grasps [us] with his awful chains, from whence there is no deliverance’” (“That Thy Confidence Wax Strong,” Ensign, Nov. 1994, 40).
