Eternalism is the philosophical appeal of the restored gospel. It is the rational basis for understanding Christ.

Eternalism is the term I would select as the best descriptive word for New Dispensation philosophy; for that term best represents its concepts... The New Dispensation is a system of philosophy as well as a religion. Indeed every religion that is worthwhile must be a philosophy. It must give some accounting of things if it is to be of any permanent service in the world. Religion must appeal to the understanding as well as the emotional nature of man.
- Elder B. H. Roberts

"The Gospel may be said to be The philosophy of Eternalism ... It is the philosophy that explains the whole of man's relationship to the universe. It invites the deepest study and the severest scrutiny."
- Elder John A. Widtsoe

"Eternalism focuses on the individual and on those processes in which the individual is taught correct principles and then is given optimum opportunity to govern himself. For those who believe we are all going to be around forever, it is both natural and wise to concern ourselves with such questions and also with such principles which are also going to be around forever."
- Elder Neal A. Maxwell

"Mortality is a master class in learning to choose the things of greatest eternal import. ... When you make choices, I invite you to take the long view - an eternal view."
- Elder Russell M. Nelson
