“If Their Works Were Good Then They Be Restored Unto That Which Is Good”

Brant Gardner

This is Alma’s doctrine of restoration restated. Alma calls it a restoration because it comes after the transitional period caused by death. The Doctrine and Covenants is not focusing on that time between death and resurrection that was so important to Alma (and Corianton), so the perspective of the restoration is less important than the principle that our current efforts will have meaning in the next life.
