“The assurance of resurrection and immortality affects how we look on the physical challenges of mortality, how we live our mortal lives, and how we relate to those around us. … The assurance of resurrection also gives us a powerful incentive to keep the commandments of God … [and] encouragement for us to fulfill our family responsibilities in mortality. … Our sure knowledge of a resurrection to immortality also gives us the courage to face our own death. The assurance of immortality also helps us bear the mortal separations involved in the death of our loved ones” (Oaks, “Resurrection,” 15).
