Are we accountable for the desires of our hearts?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Men will be judged by their works and by the desires of their hearts (see Alma 41:3; D&C 137:9). Nephi’s wicked brothers would have killed him and their father had not the Lord intervened, for which desires they will be fully accountable come the day of judgment” (McConkie and Millet, Doctrinal Commentary, 1:137).
