ME&C: Eternal Life (Mosiah 16)

After working long hours and facing the prospect of working many more before the week is out, I had little inclination to read the Book of Mormon, let alone think about it with enough focus to post about it.

But one verse has been a source of strength for me over the past couple days.

"He is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened; yea and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more death." (v. 9)

In Doctrine & Covenants, we learn that endless punishment does not mean punishment without end, but rather God's punishment, as God is endless.

So following that same logic, Christ has a light that is God's and a life that is God's. And because Christ has taken upon him a celestial life, there can be no more death. The possibility of eternal life ends death's hold.

A simple yet profound truth that is the capstone of Abinadi's sermon.
