D&C 88

Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you who have assembled yourselves together to receive his will concerning you:
 2 Behold, this is pleasing unto your Lord, and the angels arejoice over you; the balms of your prayers have come up into the ears of the Lord of cSabaoth, and are recorded in the dbook of the names of the sanctified, even them of the celestial world.
 3 Wherefore, I now send upon you another aComforter, even upon you my friends, that it may abide in your hearts, even the Holy Spirit of bpromise; which other Comforter is the same that I promised unto my disciples, as is recorded in the testimony of John.
 4 This Comforter is the apromise which I give unto you of beternal life, even the cglory of the celestial kingdom;
 5 Which glory is that of the church of the aFirstborn, even of God, the holiest of all, through Jesus Christ his Son—
 6 He that aascended up on high, as also he bdescended below all things, in that he ccomprehended all things, that he might be in all and through all things, the dlight of truth;
 7 Which truth shineth. This is the alight of Christ. As also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was bmade.
 8 As also he is in the moon, and is the light of the moon, and the power thereof by which it was made;
 9 As also the light of the stars, and the power thereof by which they were made;
 10 And the earth also, and the power thereof, even the earth upon which you astand.
 11 And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your aunderstandings;
 12 Which alight proceedeth forth from the presence of God to bfill the immensity of space—
 13 The alight which is in all things, which giveth blife to all things, which is the claw by which all things are governed, even the dpower of God who esitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things.
 14 Now, verily I say unto you, that through the aredemption which is made for you is brought to pass the resurrection from the dead.
 15 And the aspirit and the bbody are the csoul of man.
 16 And the aresurrection from the dead is the redemption of the soul.
 17 And the redemption of the soul is through him that aquickeneth all things, in whose bosom it is decreed that the bpoor and the cmeek of the dearth shall inherit it.
 18 Therefore, it must needs be asanctified from all bunrighteousness, that it may be prepared for the ccelestial cglory;
 19 For after it hath filled the measure of its creation, it shall be crowned with aglory, even with the presence of God the Father;
 20 That bodies who are of the acelestial kingdom may bpossess it forever and ever; for, for this cintent was it made and created, and for this intent are they dsanctified.
 21 And they who are not asanctified through the blaw which I have given unto you, even the law of Christ, must inherit canother kingdom, even that of a terrestrial kingdom, or that of a telestial kingdom.
 22 For he who is not able to abide the alaw of a celestial kingdom cannot babide a ccelestial glory.
 23 And he who cannot abide the law of a aterrestrial kingdom cannot abide a terrestrial glory.
 24 And he who cannot abide the law of a atelestial bkingdom cannot abide a telestial cglory; therefore he is not meet for a kingdom of glory. Therefore he must abide a kingdom which is not a kingdom of glory.
 25 And again, verily I say unto you, the aearth abideth the law of a celestial kingdom, for it filleth the bmeasure of its creation, and transgresseth not the law—
 26 Wherefore, it shall be asanctified; yea, notwithstanding it shall bdie, it shall be cquickened again, and shall abide the power by which it is quickened, and the drighteous shall einherit it.
 27 For notwithstanding they die, they also shall arise again, a bspiritual body.
 28 They who are of a celestial aspirit shall receive the same bbody which was a natural body; even ye shall receive your bodies, and your cglory shall be that glory by which your bodies are dquickened.
 29 Ye who are aquickened by a portion of the bcelestial bglory shall then receive of the same, even a fulness.
 30 And they who are quickened by a portion of the aterrestrial glory shall then receive of the same, even a fulness.
 31 And also they who are quickened by a portion of the atelestial glory shall then receive of the same, even a fulness.
 32 And they who remain shall also be aquickened; nevertheless, they shall return again to their own place, to enjoy that which they are bwilling to receive, because they were not willing to enjoy that which they might have received.
 33 For what doth it profit a man if a gift is bestowed upon him, and he receive not the gift? Behold, he rejoices not in that which is given unto him, neither rejoices in him who is the giver of the gift.
 34 And again, verily I say unto you, that which is agoverned by law is also preserved by law and perfected and bsanctified by the same.
 35 That which abreaketh a law, and babideth not by claw, but seeketh to become a law unto itself, and willeth to abide in sin, and altogether abideth in sin, cannot be sanctified by law, neither by mercy, djustice, nor ejudgment. Therefore, they must remain ffilthy still.
 36 All kingdoms have a law given;
 37 And there are many akingdoms; for there is no bspace in the which there is no ckingdom; and there is no kingdom in which there is no space, either a greater or a lesser kingdom.
 38 And unto every kingdom is given a alaw; and unto every law there are certain bounds also and conditions.
 39 All beings who abide not in those aconditions are not bjustified.
