“The Plan of Salvation,” New Era, July 2015, 22–23
The Plan of Salvation
In the most recent general conference, Church leaders taught us that the plan of happiness is a plan for families.
Premortal Life
We existed as individuals. We were members of Heavenly Father’s family, and He wanted us to have the opportunity to become like Him.
We chose to follow Heavenly Father’s plan to become like Him, and we accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior.
Spirit Birth
Grand Council
War in Heaven
Earth Life
We receive a body and are tested. The test of obedience to our Father includes how we treat our brothers and sisters and how we use the powers given to us, including the godly power a man and a woman have to create life and raise and teach children in families.
Priesthood Ordination
Light of Christ
Commandments
Repentance through the Atonement of Jesus Christ

Mortal Birth
Afterlife
We will be judged according to our works, including our conduct with regard to our families.
Those who have entered into covenants and are worthy will inherit eternal life in the celestial kingdom. In this way, many of God’s family will be united with Him eternally and will be able to receive all that He has and become like Him.
