Mortality—in terms of its opportunities for spiritual growth and development—is largely the harvest of seeds sown in that former life. And just as yesterday’s sowing dictated today’s harvest, so will today’s works dictate the character of mankind’s tomorrows. The foregoing view of mortality as a period of trial and testing must be qualified. As has been stated, many spirits enter this world under conditions which do not allow for any genuine opportunity to obey such revealed commandants as are found in the law of Moses or the gospel of Jesus Christ. Joseph Smith described these people as “heathens.” Being without divine law (administered through the priesthood), they will be judged in accordance with the moral and spiritual understanding they possess … Joseph Smith described these candidates for the terrestrial kingdom as follows: “Behold, these are they that have died without law; The heathen of ages that never had hope.”Share
