Preparing for the saviors second coming

In Matthew 13, Jesus gives us several things to beware of and to prepare ourselves to meet God. He tells us to not be deceived, to pray, and to watch for the signs of his second coming.

In regard to preparing to meet Christ, there are many scriptures that give us council. D&C 87:8 councils us to be in holy places so that we may be ready when Christ comes again. Joseph Smith- Matthew 1 has several verses in regard to this. This chapter councils us to treasure up the words of Christ, and to always be ready for the coming of the Lord, because we don't know exactly when he will come, and we don't want to miss it or be left out when he does come. D&C 33:17 councils us similarly to this, in that it advises us to make sure we are always ready for the time of the second coming, and pray always. D&C 45 also speaks of this same thing. It again talks about the importance of living in a way that we will always be ready for the coming of the Savior, no matter when it is. We always have to be ready for it.
