"Suppose, then, that a man is evil in his heart--wholly given up to wickedness, and in that condition he dies, his spirit will enter into the spirit world intent upon evil. On the other hand, if we are striving with all the powers and faculties God has given us to improve upon our talents, to prepare ourselves to swell in eternal life, and the grave receives our bodies while we are thus engaged, with what disposition will our spirits enter their next state? They will be still striving to do the things of God, only in a much greater degree."
-Brigham Young, Teachings of the Presidents of the Church Brigham Young, p 279
