"And it shall come to pass that when all men shall have passed from this first death unto life, insomuch as they have become immortal, they must appear before the judgment-seat of the Holy One of Israel; and then cometh the judgment, and then must they be judged according to the holy judgment of God.
And assuredly, as the Lord liveth, for the Lord God hath spoken it, and it is his eternal word, which cannot pass away, that they who are righteous shall be righteous still, and they who are filthy shall be filthy still; wherefore, they who are filthy are the devil and his angels; and they shall go away into everlasting fire, prepared for them; and their torment is as a lake of fire and brimstone, whose flame ascendeth up forever and ever and has no end."
2 Nephi 9:15-16
I kind of like the fact that we aren't judged until we're immortal... maybe we'll hold up better. :) I also think it is really important that the judgement is basically backing up what we have become. It isn't going to be a surprise to us what happens... we're going to be restored to who we are, what we have become, whether that is righteous or "filthy" or whatever. So, good idea to work on that righteousness and on being the kind of person that we want to be forever.
Today, let's think about how we would be judged if it happened today, and then work on making that judgement better.
