In 2 Nephi 2, Lehi teaches about agency and our opportunity to choose joy and eternal life. But we couldn’t make that choice if there weren’t opposition. Lehi explains that without opposition, “righteousness could not be brought to pass” (verse 11).
Take a look at 2 Nephi 2:11–13 to fill out the following chart:
If we didn’t have … |
Then we wouldn’t have … |
Death | |
Sin | |
Corruption | |
Wickedness | |
Punishment | |
Misery |
