“They Are Saved”
To be saved is to be freed from the effects of Adam’s fall, to overcome death and hell, to know a fulness of joy; it is to inherit eternal life. Ours is a lost and fallen world in which the soul is temporarily imprisoned. Salvation, in the full and complete sense, is to be redeemed or freed from the pains and sorrows of mortality and to rejoice in the glories of eternal splendor. “Salvation is for a man to be saved from all his enemies; for until a man can triumph over death, he is not saved. A knowledge of the priesthood alone will do this.” (Teachings, p. 305; see also pp. 297, 301.) One can obtain the promise of salvation in this life, but one must pass through death and resurrection to receive complete salvation. Salvation, or exaltation, comes to the faithful in the life beyond.
