Study Journal #12

Principles and Doctrines: There are three stages of Heavenly Father's plan: premortal, mortal, and postmortal.

As servants of Heavenly Father, we have the responsibility and privilege of knowing where we came from and why we are here in this mortal life and this knowledge helps understand that we are living in a three-stage journey. The fist stage was our premortal life, there, a great war took place and we chose to come here and receive a body. The next stage is the life on this earth where we strive to keep the commandments and try to become like Heavenly Father. And finally, the third stage is where we are going to live for eternity according to our lives on this earth.

Supporting Scriptures:

Alma 12:25-Due to Heavenly Father's great and perfect plan of Salvation, we can have the Atonement of Jesus Christ and be forgivin of our sins

Moses 5:11-Eve was happy because she realized if her and Adam never transgressed then the plan never could progress and they would never really know true happiness because they experienced sadness.


Inspirational Writings:

Perhaps the most common profound question that investigators ask is where do we come from and why are we on this earth. A knowledge of the plan of salvation will come in handy when explaining this principle of our purpose in this life. We need to approach this principle with a positive, excited attitude and put our trust in God.
