Is it bad to know evil from good? Mosiah 16:3
This is one of the main questions that religion seeks to answer.
The TLDR answer that Abinadi gives is this:
It's very bad to know good from evil if redemption were not made possible through Jesus Christ. Knowing evil necessarily means being endlessly lost without a redeemer.
But there is a resurrection. That is why death has no victory, and its sting is swallowed up in Christ. He is the light and the life of the world. His light is endless and cannot be darkened. His life is endless and conquered death. One day, we will all stand before him to be judged. Faith in his atonement, true humble repentance of sins, baptism, and receiving the gift of the holy ghost are the first steps towards following him and being his true disciple. Steps one and two are repeated daily until we die. Steps three and four we renew every week when we go to church to take the sacrament. There are lots of other steps on the covenant path. I invite you to walk with me on it.
