We Shall Be Gifted With a Higher Nature—When Christ comes, he takes those who have purified their souls by obeying the truth.... This mortal shall put on immortality, and these corruptible bodies, subject to disease, will be changed from mortal to immortal. We shall then be gifted with a higher nature. The bodies of all who purify their souls by obeying the truth shall be glorified. They will have fully received and believed in Jesus Christ.—Manuscript 36, 1906. (3SM 427.3) MC VC

When they awake the pain is all gone. “O grave, where is thy victory?” 1 Corinthians 15:55. here they stand and the finishing touch of immortality is put upon them and they go up to meet their Lord in the air. The gates of the city of God swing back upon their hinges, and the nations that have kept the truth enter in. (3SM 431.1) MC VC
