Again we note that the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament), as presently constituted, has little instruction about the resurrection and our status in general after this life. The Book of Mormon on the other hand, contains several discourses about Christ rescuing all humankind from the bands of death; about the permanent, indivisible restoration of body and spirit, the resurrection to immortality; and about our arraignment before the three Gods, who are one Eternal God (or, Godhead), for a final judgment (compare D&C 76:68). The clarity and power of Amulek’s teachings made a dramatic impression on the people.
Verses 40–44 perhaps constitute the clearest explanation in scripture on the relationship between universal salvation—a true doctrine—versus limited exaltation—also a true doctrine. Thus, all will be resurrected, but not all will be redeemed from their sins; Christ will come to “take upon him the transgressions of those who believe on his name; and these are they that shall have eternal life, and salvation [that is, exaltation] cometh to none else. Therefore the wicked remain as though there had been no redemption made.”
Also explained is how resurrection is part of the larger doctrine of restoration. Note that here, as elsewhere, the doctrines of resurrection and judgment are usually taught together. At the final judgment, Christ will represent all three members of the Godhead because all judgment has been committed to him (compare v. 44 with John 5:22, 27).
On the perfect memory, the “bright recollection” that we will all have at the judgment bar of God, see the quotation from President Joseph F. Smith at 2 Nephi 9:13–16.
