“All Shall Rise from the Dead and Stand Before God”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

All men and women who have taken a physical body will be redeemed in the sense that they will be resurrected and in the sense that they will thereafter stand before God to be judged. There is no exception. Resurrection is a free gift. All shall be quickened and made alive (see 1 Corinthians 15:21-22).

Moroni wrote: “And because of the redemption of man, which came by Jesus Christ, they are brought back into the presence of the Lord; yea, this is wherein all men are redeemed, because the death of Christ bringeth to pass the resurrection, which bringeth to pass a redemption from an endless sleep” (Mormon 9:13).
