“Ye Can Do Good and Be Restored Unto That Which Is Good”

Brant Gardner

Samuel’s use of the term “restored” is similar to the way Alma used the term in Alma 42:27-28. This doctrine of restoration is not the restoration of the body and soul, but rather the qualitative nature of the resurrection. If we do good, we will receive good. If we do evil, we will receive the wages of evil. This usage of restoration comes as part of Samuel’s emphasis on the salvation from the second death.
