To be exalted means to “dwell in the presence of God and his Christ forever and ever” (D&C 76:62) and to possess the fulness of the glory of the Father—to be among those “into whose hands the Father has given all things” (D&C 76:55). Those who are exalted become gods (D&C 76:58) because “all things are theirs” (D&C 76:59), and they shall “be above all, because all things are subject unto them” (D&C 132:20). Exaltation means to possess as joint–heirs with Jesus Christ all of the Father’s “thrones, kingdoms, principalities, and powers, dominions, all heights and depths.” Perhaps the most important distinction between exaltation and all other forms of salvation and glory is the “continuation of the seeds forever and ever” (D&C 132:19). That is, exalted beings will enjoy eternal family relationships. “And in order to obtain [exaltation], a man must enter into this order of the priesthood [meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage]; and if he does not, he cannot obtain it” (D&C 131:2–3).— LDS Beliefs
