SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Alma 12:24
"And we see that death comes upon mankind, yea, the death which has been spoken of by Amulek, which is the temporal death; nevertheless there was a space granted unto man in which he might repent; therefore this life became a probationary state; a time to prepare to meet God; a time to prepare for that endless state which has been spoken of by us, which is after the resurrection of the dead."
|
QUOTE OF THE DAY Russell M. Nelson
"This life is the time to prepare for salvation and exaltation. In God's eternal plan, salvation is an individual matter; exaltation is a family matter" ("Salvation and Exaltation," Ensign, May 2008). |
