“There Can Be No Labor Performed”
It is not to be understood from this verse that no labors are performed in the postmortal spirit world after physical death. The Church of the Lamb is organized there, the gospel is preached there to millions, and thus the work of the Lord goes forward on both sides of the veil. If, however, a person has enjoyed the privileges of gospel understanding but chooses in this life to deny or defy that light, to reject the truth and avoid the works of righteousness when he knows better, it becomes extremely difficult for him to turn around, to change directions at the time of death.
