Quote
A definite purpose with respect to humankind emanates from the Godhead. It was clearly stated to Moses “... Behold, this is my work and my glory -- to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.” Moses 1:39) … Life, then, is more than mere existence; it is “full existence.” Life is active, existence is static. Life is warm; existence, cold. Life uses its powers to secure progress; it moves upward. Existence is today where it was yesterday, or lower. Life is the increasing realization of man's highest ideals. The Lord Himself has made clear the distinction ... when He said, “I am the resurrection, and the life.” (John 11:25) Life in contradistinction to existence has always been the objective of Latter-day Saints. Life, implying a future of endless development, is the ultimate goal of the Church.Share
