What do Mormons believe happens to us after we die? What do Mormons believe about life after death?

We were so very sad when our very special eleven year old grandson died in 2009. He suffered from life threatening asthma from birth and was often in hospital. He caught a virus which attacked his heart causing it to go into a dangerous rhythm, which eventually stopped his heart. Every attempt was made to save him but to no avail. The night he died, I thought I might die too - I was so overcome with grief. I was grieving not only for him but for our daughter and her family too. I received enormous comfort from my family and friends, especially those in the church and the outpouring of love and support was indescribable. However, the most comfort I received was my knowledge that I absolutely knew that we would see him again in the next life and that our family would be together forever in the eternities. I was also comforted to know that our grandson would be free from his health problems and be able to have peace. Even though I miss him terribly, I know he is happy and with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I feel his spirit around me often. I know with total conviction that the Lord has unconditionally supported all of our family through this trial and continues to do so daily. Show more Show less

We believe that everyone, regardless of the kind of life they live, will live again through resurrection just as Jesus Christ does. But our bodies will no longer be subject to death, disease and other infirmities that are challenges of this life. This is particularly important to our family because our youngest child is severely handicapped. He is a great blessing in our lives, but we look forward with hope to the day when he will be freed from his disability. This is what Christ meant when he said that all men would be saved -- saved from death and the conditions of this mortal life. We also believe that once resurrected, we will be accountable for how we lived our lives and be judged by the standard of His teachings -- which all men and women will eventually have the opportunity to accept or reject. Therefore, learning of Christ and developing faith in Him enough to follow Him leads to a salvation that depends both on our works and His grace. That salvation can ultimately mean living in His presence together with our families. Show more Show less

Are there restrictions based on race or color concerning who can join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and have the priesthood?

Matt answered...

There are no restrictions based on race or color for anybody who can join the church. If you have a desire to come unto Christ and be baptized with the proper authority, no matter who you are and your racial background, you will be able to. Show more Show less
