Immortality is one thing, eternal life another. Immortality is to live forever in a resurrected state; it is to have a tangible body of flesh and bones. After the judgment, immortal beings are assigned their places in the celestial, terrestrial, and telestial kingdoms. Eternal life is the name of the kind of life possessed by the Eternal One, by the Eternal Father. It is reserved for those immortal beings who gain an inheritance in the highest heaven of the celestial realm. Both immortality and eternal life come because of the atonement; both are part of the gospel … One comes as a free gift; the other is earned by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel. The whole purpose of the plan of salvation is to provide immortality for all men and to make eternal life available for those who overcome the world and qualify for such a high exaltation. “For behold, this is my work and my glory,” saith God, “to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.” (Moses 1:39)Share
