God's law
Adjectives to describe this law:
Infinite, perfect, even Jesus Christ.
Could you say that Christ is the law? He is that which quickens all things. He is the word, he is knowledge, light, truth; he is the law that set order to things (intelligence), which is the simplest spiritual unit. So, again it boils down to believing Christ. We discover that no one in this world is exempt from this law. We have to follow his word and his example, and covenant to be what he needs us to be and give the glory back to our Father in Heaven. As we give that glory back to the Father, we then receive that same glory in return after our mortal existence and "your glory shall be that glory by which your bodies are quickened" (D&C 88:28).
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GLORY? Light, knowledge, family, happiness?
I would venture to say that it is respect, honour and trust to have that light, knowledge and family, which all lead to joy. God needs to see that we trust Him first and then he gives us, with that same measure of faith, trust in return. We are entrusted with the responsibilities that were once ours, when the councils of Heaven planned our path of return. We are able to take back that which is rightfully ours, as we give up the things of this world and see beyond the scope of this life and look to the windows of Heaven to fill the measure of our creation.
What is to give up Glory?
Giving up glory just means having humility and gratitude. These gifts are not inherent in all of us, but they are incredible traits that we can develop as we recognize our deficiencies and work toward strengthening the talents that we do possess to the benefit of God and mankind. Once we recognize these problems we can work around or through them and strengthen those gifts that we do have. For example, if you're missing a thumb, don't you think that you can strengthen other muscles and fingers to do what your thumb would have done? In a spiritual sense, we do this by recognizing the Saviour as God's son, recognizing the cleansing power of His sacrifice and accepting Him into our hearts; pledging our entire beings to His service, which is the redemption of all mankind.
This leads to the idea of being quickened...
To be quickened, in my mind, means to have purpose, to fill a void, to be energized by something greater than ourselves. When we serve God first, we are quickened by the fire and joy that burns in our bosoms that we are doing something for the greater good. I am so grateful for the knowledge that has been given to me by the Spirit of truth that has been sent forth by a merciful Father who loves His children and wants to give freely to all. I pray that all who come to this knowledge can sing praises to Him who gave us all, that we may find joy in this life, this day. I leave this in our Saviour's name, even Jesus Christ. Amen.
Infinite, perfect, even Jesus Christ.
