Doctrine and Covenants 45:55

"And Satan shall be bound, that he shall have no place in the hearts of the children of men."
Doctrine and Covenants 45:55


Can you imagine what the world would be like if Satan were bound? :)  I don't think it would automatically make everything perfect, but it certainly would help. :)  I suppose the question is, how will he be bound?  Will he be bound because we as a Zion community have become so righteous that no-one will listen to his whisperings anymore?  If so, I think that we have our work cut out for us.  The first thing that we have to do, to be members of this community, is to make sure that Satan has no place in *our* hearts.  This is difficult, because so often we can't let go of those last souvenirs of hell.  We keep our favorite sins aside, thinking we will work on those after all else, or we maintain our favorite addiction, thinking just the one can't hurt. :)  But, in the end, all the souvenirs of Hell have to go... or we will never be able to live happily in Heaven.
