GUIDE TO THE SCRIPTURES
Death, Physical
See also Fall of Adam and Eve; Mortal, Mortality; Resurrection; Salvation

The separation of the body and the spirit. The Fall brought mortality and death to the earth (2 Ne. 2: 22; Moses 6: 48). The atonement of Jesus Christ conquered death so that everyone will be resurrected (1 Cor. 15: 21-23). Resurrection is a free gift to all people regardless of whether they have done good or evil in this life (Alma 11: 42-44). Each person suffers only one physical death since once we are resurrected, our bodies can die no more (Alma 11: 45).

Alma explained the state of the soul between death and the resurrection, Alma 40: 11. Those who die in me shall not taste of death, D&C 42: 46.
