Quote

Belief is in a sense passive, an agreement or acceptance only faith is active and positive, embracing such reliance and confidence as will lead to works. Faith in Christ comprises belief in Him, combined with trust in Him. One cannot have faith without belief yet he may believe and still lack faith. Faith is vivified, vitalized, living belief.

Life beyond the grave postulates a pre-existent state.

No jot, iota, or tittle of the temple rites is otherwise than uplifting and sanctifying. In every detail the endowment ceremony contributes to covenants of morality of life, consecration of person to high ideals, devotion to truth, patriotism to nation, and allegiance to God.

Our Lord's descent from the holy heights of the Mount of Transfiguration was more than a physical return from greater to lesser altitudes it was a passing from sunshine into shadow, from the effulgent glory of heaven to the mists of worldly passions and human unbelief it was the beginning of His rapid descent into the valley of humiliation.
