Elder Weatherford T. Clayton of the Seventy has shared an inspiring message about the plan of our Heavenly Father for each of us. While the world often sees birth as the beginning and death as the end, these are simply significant milestones during our eternal progression. As a part of Heavenly Father’s plan for us, we needed to experience mortality as a time of experience, learning and growth.
Elder Clayton shared the three pillars of Heavenly Father’s plan.
First – the Creation of the Earth which establised the setting for our mortal experience.
Second – the Fall of Adam and Eve. Even though many see this as a tragic event, it enabled each of us to receive a body. “Adam fell that men might be; and men are that they might have joy” (2 Nephi 2:25). We also have the gift of agency – or the power to choose and act for ourselves rather than be acted upon.
Third – the Savior Jesus Christ and His Atonement. Heavenly Father knew that we would not always make the right choices and so a Savior was provided to enable us to be cleansed from sin. It also includes the universal gift of becoming resurrected after death.
