Anthony Sweat on the nature of heavenly life

Heaven won't just be sitting around on celestial clouds singing worship songs or praise music for eternity. The highest form of worship is emulation, and we will worship God in heaven by living as He does--acting, thinking, doing, loving, teaching, serving, and creating like Him in a celestial family with an immortal body of flesh and bone. Mortality provides us the opportunity to learn and grow and prepare for this future state--our time not only "to prepare to meet God" (Alma 34:32), but to prepare to become more like him. That is "how to worship" (D&C 93:19) according to the Lord. "For if ye keep my commandments you shall receive of his fulness, and be glorified in me as I am in the Father; therefore, I say unto you, you shall receive grace for grace" (D&C 93:20).
