Today I studied more about the redemption of the dead from Doctrine and Covenants sections 137 and 138. I listened to Pres. Ballard’s talk given in October 2018 General Conference titled: The Vision of the Redemption of the Dead. I think sometimes I get too caught up in the many facets of doing Family History and I forget the big picture. The big picture being that redemption of the dead is a key part of the Plan of Salvation and a clear sign of how much Heavenly Father loves each of us. He loves the child born in 600 B.C., the child born in 1300 A.D., as much as He love me.
D & C 138: 23-24:
23 And the saints rejoiced in their aredemption, and bowed the bknee and acknowledged the Son of God as their Redeemer and Deliverer from death and the cchains of dhell.
24 Their countenances ashone, and the bradiance from the presence of the Lord rested upon them, and they csang praises unto his holy name.
I am so grateful for the knowledge I have of this magnificent work and the testimony I have that this is truly the Lord’s work…”to bring to pass the immorality and eternal of life of man and women.” I am humbled by the magnitude of this work and the way that it makes life “fair.”
