“To Dwell with a Holy and Just God”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

To dwell with God if one were unworthy and thus incapable of doing so would be to be subjected not to the blessings of heaven but rather to the cursings of hell. In that day when all pretense and sham will have been removed, when facade and appearances will have been stripped away, when we shall see as we are seen and know as we are known-in that day we shall be pleased to dwell with those whose lives were like our own. Those who on earth sneered at righteousness will then find no comfort in a place of righteousness; those whose hearts yearned for the things of the Spirit will then receive the same, even a fulness (see D&C 88:21-24, 29-32).
