And he bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead, whereby man must be raised to stand before his judgment-seat.
Resurrection is a free gift given to all mortals. It is apparently not optional, anymore than death is optional. The Lord never violates our agency, but some aspects of life are not subject to agency. We made the choice to come to earth, but we do not get to choose whether we leave this life. We may, in some circumstances, choose how and when we leave this life, but not "if". Similarly, resurrection is an inescapable fact. We choose, by how we live and how we exercise our faith, to what degree of glory we are resurrected, but not "if" we are resurrected.
