Quote
Latter-day Saints believe that life in the spirit-world, a time between death and the resurrection, is also a meaningful, purposeful stage in man’s eternal life. The Book of Mormon teaches that the righteous will enjoy a condition of peace called Paradise; those who have done evil and wasted their probation in mortality will suffer remorse and anguish, the natural fruit of shallow and evil living. Their lot is not hopeless, however. They are not condemned to eternal punishment. A God of mercy and love would have no pleasure in such a fate. During the spirit-state, many will teach the Gospel to the spirit-children of God and give them an opportunity to exercise faith unto repentance and to accept the Gospel, be forgiven, and to continue their eternal life on a plane of purposeful and spiritual living.Share
