Ina sermon
dated July 8, 1855, Brigham Young said the following, which ties into the topic
of “Christification” (cf. 1 John 3:1-3; Rev 3:9, 27, etc):
As I have just stated, the Lord Almighty has
organized every human creature for the express purpose of becoming independent,
and has designed that they should be capable of receiving the principles of
eternity to a fulness; and when they have received them unto a fulness, they
are made perfect, like unto the Son of Man, and become Gods, even the Sons of God.
(JOD 2:313-14)
