Theosis

Portrait for "Theosis"

Marianne C. Sharp

Modern revelation tells us that the glory of God is intelligence, and that as God is now, man may become. But if we are to travel the path of eternal progression we must be ever seeking and gaining knowledge and intelligence, for the Prophet Joseph said, “A man is saved no faster than he gets knowledge,” and the Lord declares, “It is impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance.” Since, then, knowledge and intelligence are the doorway to eternal life, how zealous we here today should be as Relief Society officers to see that we are ever gaining knowledge and intelligence.
