Companionship of the Holy Ghost

"For behold, the spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God" - Moroni 7:16
What a blessing to receive such gift! Sometimes, we might say living in the gospel is hard and complicated but when I read this verse, I know that it would be the other way around. Instead, not living in the gospel will be harder and more complicated than we thought. I also think that according to this verse, it shouldn't be an excuse for us while we stand in front of our Heavenly Father on the judgment day, for doing wrong and committing sins, because we were given the privilege to receive the spirit of Christ, which should be the center of all choices. We are not expected to be perfect, and even if we're not, our desires of our hearts, whether we wanted to do good or evil, can be seen by God. I and you should be careful and we should be thankful we have such endless gift, to choose and do right from evil :)
