There are many questions the Lord has yet to reveal answers to. Some of these questions may concern conditions or relationships in the spirit world or in the kingdoms of glory. In all circumstances, the best solution is to trust the Lord and move forward.
Truths that are known about the spirit world include the following: spirits will live on after death, the righteous spirits will be divided from the wicked, and most important, the work of salvation continues there. All spirits —- righteous and wicked — are under some form of bondage in the spirit world.
Righteous converted souls are in bondage as they wait and “perhaps even be allowed to prompt” their proxy ordinances on earth. The wicked suffer an additional bondage as they are in spirit prison, bound by their unrepentant sins. The scriptures teach that resurrection is assured for all and will occur at different times for different groups.
Our only sure reliance is to trust in the
Lord and His love for His children.
