Resurrection & Judgement

After our time in the Spirit World, we all will be resurrected. It is a gift given freely from our Savior to all mankind. I love these scriptures in The Book of Mormon:

"The spirit and the body shall be reunited again in its perfect form; both limb and joint shall be restored to its proper frame, even as we now are at this time; and we shall be brought to stand before God, knowing even as we know now, and have a bright recollection of all our guilt. Now, this restoration shall come to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, both the wicked and the righteous; and even there shall not so much as a hair of their heads be lost; but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame, as it is now, or in the body, and shall be brought and be arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, to be judged according to their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil."

We will be judged based on what we desire to do and our actual actions. Sometimes the term "judgement day" has a scary sound to it. It only needs to be feared if we do not follow Christ and His example. I know that if I strive to follow my Savior and daily repent, then I can be say like the prophet, Enos, "And I rejoice in the day when my mortal shall put on immortality, and shall stand before him; then shall I see his face with pleasure, and he will say unto me: Come unto me, ye blessed, there is a place prepared for you in the mansions of my Father." (Enos 1:27)
