We shall know our friends, even as the disciples knew Jesus. They may
have been deformed, diseased, or disfigured, in this mortal life, and
they rise in perfect health and symmetry; yet in the glorified body
their identity will be perfectly preserved.

Heaven p. 11.
[Jesus] declares, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." If by any effort of our own we could advance one step toward the ladder, the words of Christ would not be true.
