“Surely it should give us more pause … to think of how casually we sometimes give to him who could not control his own ego in the pre-mortal world such awful control over our egos here. We often let the adversary do indirectly now what we refused to let him do directly then.
“Thus we can expect no immunity from either trial or temptation, because these are the common lot of mankind. Mortality without the dimension of temptation or trial would not be full proving; it would be a school with soft credits and no hard courses. These features of mortality were among the very conditions we agreed to before we undertook this mortal experience” (Maxwell, We Will Prove Them Herewith, 45).
