The eternal nature of God’s children
Life does not begin at birth, nor does it end at death. You are a child of God with a divine nature and a divine destiny. You lived with Him as a spirit before you were born. God sent you to Earth to receive a body and gain the experiences you need to return to Him. If you are to return to live with Him eternally, you must keep His commandments, accept Jesus Christ’s Atonement, and follow His example while you are on Earth. Sooner or later your life on Earth will end, and you will die. But because Jesus Christ conquered death, your spirit and your body will be reunited, never to be separated again. Then, if you have done what you came to Earth to do, you can return to live with your Heavenly Father.
