The eternal glory we receive will depend on our faithfulness. … We shall be brought to stand before God, knowing even as we know now, and have a bright recollection of all our guilt” ( Alma 11:41, 43). He also appeared to the Nephites after His Resurrection (see 3 Nephi 11:10–17).Īt the time of the resurrection, we will “be judged according to works. He said, “Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have” ( Luke 24:39). When the resurrected Lord appeared to His Apostles, He helped them understand that He had a body of flesh and bones. The New Testament contains several accounts testifying that He rose from the tomb (see Matthew 28:1–8 Mark 16:1–14 Luke 24:1–48 John 20:1–29 1 Corinthians 15:1–8 2 Peter 1:16–17). The Savior was the first person on this earth to be resurrected. Resurrection is the reuniting of the spirit with the body in an immortal state, no longer subject to disease or death. Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, all people will be resurrected and saved from physical death (see 1 Corinthians 15:22). Because of the Fall of Adam and Eve, we are subject to physical death, which is the separation of the spirit from the body.
