What Happens to Our Bodies and Spirits After We Die? | Now You Know

Everyone is born and everyone will die, but birth was not the beginning and death is not the end. Because of Jesus Christ, our spirits and bodies will be reunited after death through the Resurrection, granting us immortality-life after death-forever.
There are two simple facts about our lives on earth: everyone is born and everyone will die. But our birth was not the beginning of our existence, and death will not be the end. Birth and death are simply stepping-stones to mortality and then on to immortality-life after death.
Not only will we go on to live an immortal life, but our bodies and spirits will be reunited through resurrection-a process made possible because of Jesus Christ.
Christ was crucified, and three days later He rose from the dead. With that miraculous event, Christ became the first person ever to be resurrected. Because He overcame death, everyone who has ever lived on the earth will also be resurrected.
Without resurrection, death would separate our bodies and spirits forever. Christ’s Resurrection saves us from that endless separation and grants us immortality. This means that our imperfect, mortal bodies will be changed into glorified bodies that will never again experience disease, injury, or death.

@@robertray4191 You've provided some additional parts that weren't crucial for this video, but you also missed a few important points. Of course dead people aren't alive, but while their bodies sleep, their spirits are able to be taught. Christ Himself attended to this concern while His body slept in the tomb; see 1 Peter 3:18-20 and 1 Peter 4:6. I asked in another comment, but in case you don't see that I'll ask you something again. While we share a common belief in the Bible, my experience is that many people who read the Bible disagree about what it actually says. Between varying interpretations of scripture and the fact that references to some teachings are very sparse in the Bible, it can be hard to know whose interpretation to believe. Latter-day Saints have additional scripture and the words of living prophets that help us greatly to understand. How do you know personally that the Bible is true, and do you have anything else that helps you to understand the Bible?

The Lord granted to these disciples the same blessing granted to John the Beloved-that they might stay on the earth to bring souls to Christ until the Lord comes again. They were translated so that they would feel no pain and would not die (3 Ne. 28). Christ granted the three disciples’ desire to tarry until his coming, 3 Ne. 28:1-9. They will never suffer the pains of death or sorrow, 3 Ne. 28:7-9. They shall have fulness of joy, 3 Ne. 28:10. They were temporarily caught up into heaven, 3 Ne. 28:13-17. They ministered unto the people and endured persecution, 3 Ne. 28:18-23. They ministered unto Mormon, 3 Ne. 28:24-26 (Morm. 8:10-11).

Who were the later day saint? What is the exect meaning of later day saints?

[@elyzastackhouse2361]

The words "latter day saints" refers to the fact that as members of the restored church of Jesus Christ, we are modern day (or latter day) saints. But the most important part of the church's is name is that Church of Jesus Christ:)

[@MeredithDuley]

Ali Azar, in the Bible the followers of Christ, or members of his church, were referred to as "saints". Basically, anyone who was a member of Christ's church was called a saint. The term fell out of use generally and over time came to be used to refer only to people who were believed to have achieved a special standing in Heaven. But when Christ restored his church to the earth in modern times, he specified that the church should be called by his name, The Church of Jesus Christ. In time, members of the church also began referring to themselves as the members did in Biblical times, as "saints". These modern days are also referred to as the "latter days" (as in former vs. latter), hence Christ's church today is called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and members of the church are properly called Latter-day Saints. I hope my explanation makes sense!

[@shankar.j1690]

Ali Azar dear brother whoever directs their heart and soul into creator path by letting leaded by God's only begotten son is a later day saint.

[@Yekulten]

A latter-day saint is an ordinary individual that "lives in the world, but not of the world." Meaning they try the best they can to live the gospel while living with everyone else. "Later" meaning they live in modern times. The full title of a latter-day saint is: a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints.

Hi J.M., we're sad to hear about your experience. One of our most basic beliefs and teachings is that every single individual on earth is a beloved son or daughter of God, worthy of love and respect. We strive to follow Jesus Christ's instruction to love one another as He loves us. We also strongly believe that freedom of religion is a fundamental human right, and our eleventh article of faith states that just as we hope to worship freely, we also "allow all men...(to) worship how, where, or what they may."

Thanks for replying I need to know what have been restored in church And why some christions do not recnise MORMANS as chrition?

[@RLSspanish]

Ali Azar, we believe that many truths have been restored that were lost after Jesus and His original apostles died. One of those truths is the need for living prophets and apostles to reveal God’s will to us in our day as taught in Amos 3:7, Ephesians 2, and Ephesians 4. Another is the proper mode of baptism, for example, how old do you have to be to be baptized (who needs to be baptized?), what happens to people who die before they are baptized, who has the proper authority to baptize you, what is the correct way to perform the actual baptism, etc. Another one is the practice of building and worshipping in temples. Another is ordination to the priesthood. Who can and should be ordained and how are they ordained and how do you know that they are actually authorized by God to use His authority and His power. These are just a few that come to mind right off the bat. As far as why people do not believe that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are Christians, I think it mostly comes down to misunderstandings and/or differences of opinion.

Ali Azar because many beliefs of Mormons are not Biblical. They have they’re own translation of the Bible and many of they’re beliefs come from they’re founder Joseph Smith, who believes that God wasn’t always God as the Bible clearly teaches, he became God. But the Bible(which is the word of God) says that he is from everlasting to everlasting the same yesterday today and forever. He was not created, if he were he would not be God he IS the creator of the universe. Our founder is Christ not a man. They also believe that Jesus and Satan are brothers, not biblical and not truth, far from it, it’s heresy. Jesus Christ was God in the flesh. They also believe they will become gods, little g, when they die. Also heresy and not biblical. Now that’s the truth. You can’t just make up you’re own truth because it’s fits you’re needs and comforts. You must die to self pick up you’re cross and follow HIM daily!!!My dear brothers and sisters, Turn to the truth of the one and only true and living God of the Bible Jesus Christ and you shall be saved 🙏❤️ his arms are open wide

[@germanslice]

@@romans116spiritualwarrior7 You're Wrong Again and in error in your own teachings about the latter-day saints. Many of the latter-day saint beliefs are based on bible teachings. The Intelligence of God is what's not created. That uncreated eternal intelligence can be organized into a spirit body and enlarged upon. Or added upon.... There is eternal progress from uncreated intelligence, to spirit and to human flesh and to immortal resurrected beings because Jesus went through it himself to become resurrected and receive an immortal body from the Father (Rev 3:21) and inheriting his Father's throne. Eternal progression to become like God is a Bible Doctrine. Becoming like God does not mean replacing God. The Saints who won their crowns of eternal life and sit with God up on their thrones as Lords and Kings unto God that John The Revelator saw in vision did not replace God. Instead those lords and kings all fell down and worshipped God and the Lamb...... Eternal Families that extend beyond the grave, that teaching its found in Ephesians Chapter 3 verse 15. Bending the knees and Praying to God the Father in the name of Jesus is also found in Verse 14. Paul had practiced these teachings himself.. Pre-earth life of Spirits coming to earth from God to get bodies, again the Bible has the doctrine written in Ecclestiastes 12:7 and other various places. Obtaining crowns and inheriting thrones to become joint heirs with Christ and with God as Revelations Chapter 5 clearly shows. Paul said he would strive to win the crown himself and encouraged the other saints to do the same. LDS beliefs are found in the Bible. Jesus and Lucifer being brothers is true. One supports the Father the other rebels. Jesus was a morning star, so also was Lucifer before his fall, they both come from the same source of the Father of all lights (James).

The thing about this is that the concept of hell of LDS is similar to the Catholic concept of hell and unlike evangelicals who says that if one did not believe one goes to eternal hell. In this sense, hell is a separation from the glory of God, and is eternal. The LDS church says it is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit but they say its dying in mortal sin unrepented. Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, said in the King Follett discourse: All sins shall be forgiven, except the sin against the Holy Ghost; for Jesus will save all except the sons of perdition. What must a man do to commit the unpardonable sin? He must receive the Holy Ghost, have the heavens opened unto him, and know God, and then sin against him. After a man has sinned against the Holy Ghost, there is no repentance for him. He has got to say that the sun does not shine while he sees it; he has got to deny Jesus Christ when the heavens have been opened unto him, and to deny the plan of salvation with his eyes open to the truth of it; and from that time he begins to be an enemy. St. Faustina, a Polish nun, from her Diary: 1698 l often attend upon the dying, and through entreaties obtain for them trust in God’s mercy, and I implore God for an abundance of divine grace, which is always victorious. God’s mercy sometimes touches the sinner at the last moment in a wondrous and mysterious way. Outwardly, it seems as if everything were lost, but it is not so. The soul, illumined by a ray of God’s powerful final grace, turns to God in the last moment with such a power of love that, in an instant, it receives from God forgiveness of sin and punishment, while outwardly it shows no sign either of repentance or of contrition, because souls at that stage no longer react to external things. Oh, how beyond comprehension is God’s mercy! But-horror!-there are also souls who voluntarily and consciously reject and scorn this grace! Although a person is at the point of death, the merciful God gives the soul that interior vivid moment, so that if the soul is willing, it has the possibility of returning to God. But sometimes, the obduracy in souls is so great that consciously they choose hell; they thus make useless all the prayers that other souls offer to God for them and even the efforts of God Himself…

I've always wondered, what if I don't want to resurrect? What if I don't want to exist any longer?. Maybe I'm reasoning this way because of my depression, will it ever change? Have any of you thought about this before?

[@churchofjesuschrist]

Hi Javiera, thanks for your question and for sharing your feelings. While we don't know everything about life after death, we do know that because of the infinite love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we all receive the gift of resurrection. Our spirits will be reunited with our bodies and will be perfect-- free from pain, sickness, and imperfections. A prophet in the Book of Mormon taught, "The soul shall be restored to the body...; yea, and every limb and joint shall be restored to its body; yea, even a hair of the head shall not be lost; but all things shall be restored to their proper and perfect frame." (Alma 40:23) We hope this helps ease some of your concerns and fears.

Thank you for your sincere questions, Javiera! Depression can be extremely difficult. You are not alone in your struggles; some of us have experienced depression as well. As the Church official response mentioned, when we are resurrected, we will have perfect bodies, and we will no longer be subject to things like depression. You have wonderful things to look forward to! But please also remember that God can only give us some blessings either during out mortal lives or afterward if we prepare for them. Do your best to follow His will and serve others so that you can receive more in this life and beyond.

I understand your question because I have at times of depression wanted to just go to sleep and never wake up. I have prayed for more happiness and the lord answered me by letting me know that my happiness is in my hands and it is up to me. If I want to be more happy then draw closer to God by living a more Christ like life. That knowledge came to me about three months ago and I must say that I am happier than I have been in a long time by repenting and trying to get closer to the spirit. Of course I still have bad days but I am now more exited about being resurrected and living in perfect health. This is not new doctrine, it just came to me with more power and meaning when the lord reminded me personally. Praying for you Javiera. Joy will come.

[@Sirach144]

The Bible teaches that the dead are dead. Not alive in another conditions. The dead are unconscious.

[@00Fisher00]

To say that "the dead are dead" is redundant. Physical death means that our spirits are separated from our bodies. Our bodies sleep, but our spirits continue. That's why, between Jesus' physical death and resurrection, He was able to ensure that the gospel was preached to the spirits of the dead as we read in 1 Peter.

No. We know that some people have already progressed to their final judgment and beyond; I don't remember the scriptural references, but as I recall, Abraham is among those who have already gone to Heaven. I think that most have some waiting to do, though, for one reason or another.

[@erikahubbard6942]

Jeremiah 1:5 says: “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations” (King James Version). The Bible also frequently refers to God as the Father of our spirits, suggesting that we existed as spirits before coming to earth and receiving a body (Numbers 16:22, Ecclesiastes 12:7). As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we also believe in other sacred texts revealed by God to guide those who seek to follow Jesus Christ, including the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine & Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. In the book of Moses (part of the Pearl of Great Price), God reveals to Moses that He “made the world, and men [and women] before they were in the flesh” (Moses 6:51). God bless! I hope you find what you’re seeking

[@00Fisher00]

The bible doesnt say everyone will die

[@00Fisher00]

The passage from the Bible that comes to mind for me quickly is 1 Corinthians 15:20-22. It reads, "But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."

I am not an atheist, but is there any scientific-historical fact about any prophet and their well-known mysteries?

Sure, but it's always a matter of faith, meaning that people always have a choice about what to believe. It happens frequently that two people look at the exact same evidence and arrive at different conclusions. As members of the restored Church of Jesus Christ, we rely on much more than just bare fact, though; we seek knowledge directly from God, through study and prayer, and we rely on personal revelation from Him.

Hollyweird often holds fictional funerals in the rain. There's no sign about it. I wrote a short story called "The Peach," where a grandfather and his young grandson share a "magic" peach and move together in their bond. The next year, the grandfather dies, and his funeral is held in the man's massive back yard around trees and flowers. It was a sunny day, and birds sang all the way throughout, providing sacred background music for the funeral.

[@sharonflay1593]

I've got another question When a person is sick this is a hypothetical Can they ask to be healed.

[@00Fisher00]

We can always ask. Sometimes it's not what God has in mind for us. In Doctrine and Covenants 42:8. we read, "And again, it shall come to pass that he that hath faith in me to be healed, and is not appointed unto death, shall be healed." It's important to submit our will to God's as we ask for things, and humble ourselves to accept what comes to us in life and death.

Everyone is free to make such choices. Either we enjoy God's peace and happiness in life and beyond, or we don't. However, our eternal judgment does not occur after just one choice from us, or even from only a few; we have many opportunities to turn to Him. Even those who never heard the gospel preached to them while alive will hear it after their mortal deaths, and will have the opportunity to accept the gospel of Christ.

@@gloriafernandes8164 There are more references in other scripture, but there are a few in the Bible.

In Job 38, the Lord talks to Job and tells him about the creation of the Earth and how "all the sons of God shouted for joy" at that time. Those are the two that come to mind, offhand.

jdk, Thankfully we don't have to live a perfect life right now. We are becoming perfected in Jesus Christ, if we repent daily, ask for his help, and try our best to follow him. Through Christ's enabling grace, we can become completed (perfected) eventually. Faithful followers of Christ, are each like holy temples, that are being renovated by Christ, who can be completed one day, as long as we choose to let him build us up, through our faithfulness in making and keeping his covenants, and commandments. We can never enter into eternal life with God, on our own, but with Jesus Christ, we certainly can! God bless you, and I know as difficult as life can get, we can do it!
