Elder Bednar Taught: “Our physical bodies make possible a
breadth, a depth, and an intensity of experience that simply could not be
obtained in our premortal existence. Thus, our relationships with other people,
our capacity to recognize and act in accordance with truth, and our ability to
obey the principles and ordinances of the gospel of Jesus Christ are amplified
through our physical bodies. …
“The Father’s plan is designed to provide direction for His
children, to help them become happy, and to bring them safely home to Him with
resurrected, exalted bodies” (“We Believe in Being Chaste,” Ensign or
Liahona,May 2013, 41, 43).
