Jesus Christ, Immortality

 "And as Jesus rose from the dead, as he burst the bands of death, as he came forth in immortal glory, so shall it be with all men, all shall come forth from the prison of the grave, all shall live again, all shall become immortal.

Once there was mangled flesh and spirit and blood, now there is glorious immortality in a state where sorrow and pain fade away into nothingness. Once the creature was earth-bound, limited, and inhabitant of a few dusty feet of earth-soil; Now the creature comes forth with powering to traverse the sidereal heavens and receive, inherit, and possess worlds without number." -Bruce R. McConkie

[Jesus] required for those who would enter the kingdom of heaven was far more than just being converted to testify to the truthfulness of the gospel. To testify is to know and declare. The gospel changes us to be converted chi requires us to do and become. -Dallin H. Oaks
