“The Plan” of God as we are talking about today is fairly simple; we have been sent here to see if we will be obedient to gods commandments. When presented with the plan, before this earth was formed, we were so excited “all of the sons of God shouted for joy” Job 38:7. When we arrived here in our mortal state, we were to have a veil on our minds where we forgot the details of our premortal life, having with us the light of Christ, a gift of conscience, to guide us. In this state we are the natural man, trying to become spiritual man, to see if we can overcome our physical “wants” to serve our Father in Heaven. Since we would fail at times, sin, we would need a Savior, Jesus Christ. If we can follow our Savior, learn to be like Him, learn to do the will of the Father, and try to be a little better each day, we are on the path Home. Why? So we can become, someday, like God. To inherit all that He has, not gold and jewels, but knowledge and power. “For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.” Moses 1:38 The only thing that makes it all work is Faith, because having to rely on faith is the only thing that guarantees our ability to choose, our free agency. Will we choose to be obedient? Will we choose to listen. Will we believe, or will we mock and scorn? Eternity is a very long time.
“and he was born this month about 2013 years ago.” He was perfect. He just wasnt born this month. We celebrate His birth this month but he was born in the spring.
