What is the day of visitation?

Thomas R. Valletta

Mormon reminds us that one of the purposes of resurrection is to enable us to stand before God to be judged of what we did with our bodies in mortality. Elder Dallin H. Oaks taught: “The principle of restoration also means that persons who are not righteous in mortal life will not rise up righteous in the resurrection. … Moreover, unless our mortal sins have been cleansed and blotted out by repentance and forgiveness … we will be resurrected with a ‘bright recollection … ’ and a ‘perfect knowledge of all of our guilt, and our uncleanness. … ’ The seriousness of that reality is emphasized by the many scriptures suggesting that the resurrection is followed immediately by the Final Judgment” (“Resurrection,” 16).
