It is Over, Now What?

Okay back to the Plan of Salvation. This is the part we avoid or don't want to talk about it: Death. Well I really don't have a problem with it. There is no getting around it and it is all a part of the plan. At some point we will leave this life. Our bodies will go to the grave and our spirits will go a place called the Spirit World. It is a where our souls will be until they are resurrected. Those who live a righteous life will be "received into a state of happiness, which is called paradise, a state of rest, a state of peace, where they shall rest from all their troubles and from all care, and sorrow." And those who lived a wicked life will be "in darkness, and a state of awful, fearful looking for the fiery indignation of the wrath of God upon them." (Alma 40: 12,14) So here we will wait our resurrection and judgement. But you want to know what I think is the coolest part of the Spirit World? Those who were never provided with an opportunity to learn about Christ's gospel will given the chance. The apostle Peter taught, "For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit." (1 Peter 4:6) Our Heavenly Father is merciful and will give all of His children the opportunity to learn and choose for themselves. Isn't that awesome?
