Homework for Plan of Salvation
Brothers and Sisters,
I have copies of the Plan of Salvation homework to pass out at church on Sunday. I have also posted it here:
SEMINARY PLAN OF SALVATION REVIEW
Premortal Life
• Where does the life line begin and end? (. See D&C 93:29 ; Abraham 3:18)
• What do you know about your Father in Heaven and your life with Him before you were born on earth?
• What does it mean to be a spirit child of God?
• Since we lived with Heavenly Father in the premortal world and we were immortal, why didn’t we stay there?
• What do we know about the differences between Heavenly Father’s plan and Lucifer’s alternative? (see Moses 4:1–4
• Why do you think the Lord prizes the freedom to choose (agency) so much that He would allow Lucifer and his followers to rebel and start a war in heaven?
Mortal Life
• Since Satan will eventually be cast into outer darkness, why did God allow him and his followers to come to earth and tempt us? (see D&C 29:39 ).
• Why was it necessary for us to come to a physical earth and get a physical body? (see D&C 93:33–34 ; Moses 1:39
• What were the consequences of the transgression of Adam and Eve? Why was the Fall of Adam and Eve necessary? (see 2 Nephi 2:19–25
• Why was a Redeemer chosen even in premortality? What would result if there were no Redeemer? (see 2 Nephi 9:7–10 ; Moses 4:1–4 ; Abraham 3:27–28
• Why did Jehovah (Jesus Christ) need to come to earth and receive a mortal body?
• Since we face so much temptation in the world today, what can we do in cooperation with the Lord to change our natures and resist evil? (see 1 Nephi 2:16 ; Mosiah 3:19 ; 4:1–3 ; 5:1–2 ; Ether 12:27 ).
Postmortal Life
• What is the difference between physical death and spiritual death? How are we rescued from each one? What is our part in overcoming spiritual death? (see 2 Nephi 9:6–23 ; Alma 40:11–14 ; D&C 29:40–44 )
• Where do we go upon death? What important works that we know of are going on in the spirit world? (see Alma 40:11–14 ; D&C 138:11–37)
• Who is the Great Judge? When will we be judged? Is there more than one judgment? (see John 5:21–22, 30 )
• For what will we be judged? By what standard will we be judged? (see Mosiah 2:36–41 ; Alma 41:3–7 ; D&C 82:3
• What possibilities are available to those who don’t hear about the gospel in this life? (see D&C 138:1–37 ).
• What will we be like when we are resurrected? (see Alma 11:42–45 ).
• What is our ultimate destiny and what can we become if we follow the “great plan of happiness”? (see D&C 76:50–70 ).
