Jesus, we don't need no Stinking Jesus. We can.......

earn our eternal reward (just like merit badges or duty to Mormon Man god award).

Quoting Thomas S Monson from the 182nd General Conference

"As the result of Christ's victory over the grave, we shall all be resurrected (big deal). This is the redemption of the soul. Paul wrote: 'There are . . . celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another' (1 Corinthians 15:40).

"It is the celestial glory which we seek. It is in the presence of God we desire to dwell. It is a forever family in which we want membership. Such blessings are earned through a lifetime of striving, seeking, repenting and finally succeeding.

"Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where do we go after this life? No longer need these universal questions remain unanswered. From the depths of my soul, and in all humility, I testify that those things of which I have spoken are true."

President Monson said Heavenly Father rejoices for those who keep His commandments. "He is concerned also for the lost child, the tardy teenager, the wayward youth, the delinquent parent. Tenderly the Master speaks to these, and indeed to all: 'Come back. Come up. Come in. Come home. Come unto me.'
