The Eternal Family: A Plain and Precious Part of the Plan of Salvation

Most of the time on my posts, I refrain from being too spiritual because I want to be able to entice a large audience. However, this lesson is so important and can help anyone on this earth that is struggling. It is relevant that we all use our blessings and divine personalities to draw closer to the Lord in these Latter-Days.

This chapter focuses on the importance of the Plan of Salvation. This is one of my favorite chapters that I have studied in my class so far! The beginning of the chapter states, "the family is central to the creator's plan for the eternal destiny of his children... In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshiped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by which His children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize their divine destiny as heirs of eternal life."

From the beginning of time, we were spirits in heaven and we were spirit sons and daughters. I love that one of our purposes on earth and our mortal life is to realize our divine talents and destiny in this life. One of the many blessings that we have on this earth is that we have the priesthood, which allows us to be able to be sealed together as families! Each of is in this life have a mission to perform, and these include being a wife, mother, daughter, friend, and sister. Fulfilling our specific roles in this life will bring us closer to the Lord and make us feel happy and accomplished in our doings.

It is important that we are using our individual talents to bless our lives, and help us feel accomplished and important. The reading states, "God and His plan are eternal. He instituted marriage and family in the beginning. God created the earth, the garden, and our first parents in order to create families for all of His children to be born into and experience mortal life- especially mortal family life." Whether you are religious or not, I encourage all of you guys to look into your own lives and your own talents, and use those things to feel accomplished and make your time in this life worthwhile.
