For as death has passed upon all men, there needs be a power of resurrection.
Mortality is a period of probation, in which men have their free agency to act for themselves. When Adam and Eve fell they were cut off from the presence of the Lord so that they would have complete freedom to act for themselves, this was the first spiritual death which called for the great plan of salvation.
"I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down which accused them before our God day and night." Rev. 12:10
