Another of the purposes of man’s mortal probation is to pass through the experience we call death. This experience is necessary “to fulfill the merciful plan of the great Creator” (2 Nephi 9:6). In death, the body returns to the earth or the elements from which it was created, and the spirit goes into the world of spirits—there to wait the day of resurrection. “Life is real! life is earnest! / And the grave is not its goal; / Dust thou art, to dust returnest, / Was not spoken of the soul.” (Henry Longfellow, “A Psalm of Life.”) ... Indisputably there is life after death. Mortality is a place of temporary duration—and so is the spirit world. As inevitable as death is to mortals, so also is an eventual resurrection to those in the spirit world.Share
