The time from birth until physical death. This is sometimes called the second estate.
In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die,
Gen. 2: 16-17 (
Moses 3: 16-17). At death the spirit shall return to God and the body to the dust of the earth,
Eccl. 12: 7 (
Gen. 3: 19;
Moses 4: 25). Do not let sin reign in your mortal body,
Rom. 6: 12. This mortal body must put on immortality,
1 Cor. 15: 53 (
Enos 1: 27;
Mosiah 16: 10;
Morm. 6: 21). Man’s state became a state of probation,
2 Ne. 2: 21 (
Alma 12: 24;
42: 10). Adam fell that men might be,
2 Ne. 2: 25. Do you look forward and view this mortal body raised in immortality?
Alma 5: 15. This life is the time to prepare to meet God,
Alma 34: 32. Do not fear death, for your joy is not full in this world,
D&C 101: 36. Those who keep their second estate shall have glory,
Abr. 3: 26.
