2 Ne 9:7-9 Elder D. Todd Christofferson
“If our separation from God and our physical death were
permanent, moral agency would mean nothing. Yes, we would be free to make
choices, but what would be the point? The end result would always be the same
no matter what our actions: death with no hope of resurrection and no hope of
heaven. As good or as bad as we might choose to be, we would all end up ‘angels
to a devil’ [2 Nephi 9:9]” (D. Todd Christofferson, “Moral Agency,” Ensign,
June 2009, 50).
