Doctrine and Covenants 130:2 — Eternal Progression

See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God, and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is. And all who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

But verily, verily, I say unto you, that as many as receive me, to them will I give power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on my name. Amen.

Heber C. Kimball

Our God is a natural man . . . where did he get his knowledge from? From his father, just as we get our knowledge from our earthly parents.
