The Work and the Glory

Truth Restored

• For behold, this is my work and my glory - to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man - Moses 1:39

• Eternal life, or exaltation, is Gods life• And if children, then heirs; heirs of

God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together – Romans 8:17 KJV

The Nature of God

• God has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s; the Son also – D&C 130:22

• [Christ] shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself – Philippians 3:21

• God is not a one planet God. The entire universe is populated by his children

The Family

• The family is the central unit of Gods Kingdom both in this life and in the eternities

• Families may be sealed for eternity. “And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever though shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” – Matthew 16:19

Sealed for Eternity

• “Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.” - Matthew 22:29-30

• This work is preformed in temples of the Lord

To be like Him

• God was made man that we might be made God

• This [Godhood of man] will not detract anything from the glory and might of our Heavenly Father, for he will still remain our Father, and we shall still be subject to him, and as we progress, in glory and power it the more enhances the glory and power of our Heavenly Father. This principle holds good in either state, whether mortal or immortal. – Brigham Young
