selves. And that same sociality which exists among us here will exist among us there, only it will
be coupled with eternal glory, which glory we do not now enjoy.

D&C 137:7-9

Thus came the voice of the Lord unto me, saying: All who have died without a knowledge of
this gospel, who would have received it if they had been permitted to tarry, shall be heirs of the
celestial kingdom of God;

Also all that shall die henceforth without a knowledge of it, who would have received it with
all their hearts, shall be heirs of that kingdom;
For I, the Lord, will judge all men according to their works, according to the desire of their
hearts.

D&C l38:57

I beheld that the faithful elders of this dispensation, when they depart from mortal life, con-
tinue their labors in the preaching of the gospel of repentance and redemption, through the
sacrifice of the Only Begotten Son of God, among those who are in darkness and under the
bondage of sin in the great world of the spirits of the dead.

QUOTES ON DEATH

“The Lord takes many away, even in infancy, that they may escape the envy of man, and the
sorrows and evils of this present world; they were too pure, too lovely, to live on earth; there-

fore, if rightly considered, instead of mourning we have reason to rejoice as they are delivered
from evil, and we shall soon have them again.”
-Joseph Smith

“It’s only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth - and that
we have no way of knowing when our own time is up — that we will begin to live each day to
the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.”

-Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
“When shall we die? Never. Says our Savior, ‘Whosoever believeth in me shall never die.’ Shall
we put on this mortality? Yes, we will lay down these bodies in the grave. What for? That the
dust, our mother earth, that composes the house of the spirit, may be purified by passing
through this ordeal, and be prepared to be called up and united with the intelligent heavenly

body that God has prepared. This is nothing but a change. It is not the dissolution of the crea-
ture; it is merely putting off the flesh that pertains to this world.”
-Brigham Young
