- Mosiah 2:41… And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it.
- Mosiah 5: 15… Being steadfast, immovable, abounding in good works, it will be sealed that you will be brought to heaven and have everlasting salvation and eternal life. All this through the wisdom, power, justice and mercy of God.
- “It is a wonderful pleasure to speak upon the great things that God proposes to bestow upon His sons and daughters, and that we shall attain to if we are faithful. … Our travel in this path of exaltation will bring to us the fullness of our Lord Jesus Christ, to stand in the presence of our Father, to receive of His fullness, to have the pleasure of increasing in our posterity worlds without end, to enjoy those pleasant associations that we have had in this life, to have our sons and our daughters, our husbands and our wives, surrounded with all the enjoyment that heaven can bestow, our bodies glorified like unto the Savior’s, free from disease and all the ills of life, and free from the disappointments and vexations and the unpleasant sacrifices that we are making here” Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Lorenzo Snow, 2011, Page 8
- “We are not going to die. We are deathless beings. We lived before we came into this world, and we shall live after we go out of it. What we call death is not worthy of the name. There is no death for the righteous. Christ died to destroy death. The change called death is but a temporary separation of the spirit from the body. None of our departed ones are dead. They have but gone before. This so-called death, when properly understood, is simply going back home.” Orson F Whitney, Improvement Era, May 1916, pp 608-9
- “The priesthood is the power and authority of God. It has always existed and will continue to exist without end (see Alma 13:7-8, Doctrine and Covenants 84:17-18). Through the priesthood, God created and governs the heavens and the earth. Through this power, He exalts His obedient children, bringing to pass the immortality and eternal life of man (Moses 1:39; see also Doctrine and Covenants 84:35-38).” Manual Handbook 2: Administering the Church, Priesthood Principles
