Week 49- The Plan of Salvation

Hi every one!
I really don't have too much to write today, but I'm praying that the
spirit will guide my fingers, and thoughts to create a message that
would benefit each of you as it has benefitted me.
The thing that has stuck out to me the absolute most this week, would
be gods woulderful, merciful plan for the salvation of each of his
beloved children. That would be us just so you know.
We have recently taught it a lot, and I've been doing a lot of reading
and pondering about it in the scriptures.  And as some of you know
when you ponder things of God, the spirit testifys to you.
I will give you a brief run down of the Plan Of Salvation just so you
can get a taste of the same love I feel is evident in it.

It all starts In heaven, where we lived with our loving heavenly
mother and father. AND like most kids, we wanted to become like our
heavenly parents. We wanted a physical body, and to learn, to be wise
like them.
So god created this Plan Of Salvation to nurture and grow his children
into wonderful beings of creation.
He gave us agency or the freedom to choose to come here on earth. Our
spirits inherited the body's Adam and Eve created. Thus fulfilling the
commandment for Adam and Eve to multiply and replenish the earth. As
we live here with our family's we can grow and learn the same way god
did. We make sacred covenants or promises to stay true to the loving
god that created us. Then we die. Most of us are scared of death, but
if you could see through gods eyes you would be at peace, it takes a
lot of thinking and studying to know that physical death is absolutely
necessary. And that our spirits will never die, just this temporary
temple we dwell in.
After death our spirit rises to a higher level, it is called the
spirit world. This step can get complicated, so I'll put it simply. If
we made good choices according to gods commandments on the earth, we
will be at peace and not afraid of what's to come, there will only be
good consequences awaiting for us. If you made poor decisions your
soul will be restless, like a really poor nights rest, you will be
anxious and unsure of your future position.
Eventually god will reunite or beloved body's and spirits again! Where
this time there will be no sickness, or physical death, sort of like
melting plastic together, there will be no seams to which it could be
pulled apart.
After which we get to dwell with god, the important thing here is to
realize that god will not put you anywhere you won't be comfortable.
Like going to a swimming party in a ballroom gown, would you be
comfortable? God will judge you where you need to go, but that doesn't
mean you won't regret your decision for the eternities if you go to
the lower kingdoms. In ALL of this god is trying to prepare us to come
live with him like the prodigal sons and daughters we are. It is what
he wants most. And should be what we want most as well.
So voila! This plan is absolutely gorgeous to me and very perfect. You
can tell a very loving hand created it. And I want ALL of gods
children to know, so they can choose for themselves where they want to
fit in.
I want to challenge each of you to try with your might to find a fault
in this plan, and then pray about it. It is my humble promise to you
that you will not be able to find a fault to which god had not
foreseen and prepared for.
I love you all!
Sly,
Elder Minson
