Where Did I Come from, Why Am I Here, And Where Am I Going?


               Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going? These are the Three biggest questions everyone has had or thought of in their life. Well what would you do if I told you that I have found the answers? well I did and I will share them with you!
Where Did I Come From?
               Before we came to earth we lived in the presents of our Heavenly Father as his spirit children where we learned from him and where we felt his love and care. he cares so much for us that he created a plan for us all to receive ALL the Blessing, happiness and Joy that he Enjoys this is his purpose for creating this plan the plan of happiness. God gave us are agency or the right to choose good from evil. so after we those who accepted this plan and those that didn't and were casted out of heaven God created the earth so that we may gain a body. While on earth we are physically out of Gods presents to see if we will really follow him because we walk by faith not by sight.    
Why Am I Here?
               Well it all starts with the story of Adam and Eve they were created in the Image of God flesh and bones and had two choices multiply and replenish the earth and to not eat from the tree of good and evil. they had to choose they had agency. Satan came around and tempted them and Adam and Eve choose to eat of the fruit and was casted out of the garden they did so that we might have joy. 2 Nephi 2: 22-25 22 And now, behold, if Adam had not transgressed he would not have fallen, but he would have remained in the garden of Eden. And all things which were created must have remained in the same state in which they were after they were created; and they must have remained forever, and had no end. 23 And they would have had no children; wherefore they would have remained in a state of innocence, having no joy, for they knew no misery; doing no good, for they knew no sin. 24 But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things.25 Adam fell that men might be; and men care, that they might have joy. We are on this earth to be tested and to see where are faith stands to either follow Christ or Satan. So life really is what we make it we have to choose what we are going to to Obey God and do his will or to sin and follow Satan which brings unhappiness and sorrow. The only way that we are able to overcome sin is through Jesus Christ and his Atonement and this helps us to repent and follow him more fully 2 Nephi 2: 26 And the Messiah cometh in the fullness of time, that he may redeem the children of men from the fall. And because that they are redeemed from the fall they have become free forever, knowing good from evil; to act for themselves and not to be acted upon, save it be by the punishment of the law at the great and last day, according to the commandments which God hath given.
Where Am I Going?
               Death is the process of transforming from mortality to immortality. After death we go to the Spirit world where we wait for the second coming of Christ. death however doesn't change are desire to do good or evil or are personality. those who will obey gods will, will be in a state of happiness, and joy and those who don't and rebel against god will be in pain and sorrow and fill  unhappy. Alma 40:11-14 11 Now, concerning the state of the soul between death and the resurrection—Behold, it has been made known unto me by an angel, that the spirits of all men, as soon as they are departed from this mortal body, yea, the spirits of all men, whether they be good or evil, are taken home to that God who gave them life. 12 And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of those who are righteous are received into a state of happiness, which is called paradise, a state of rest, a state of peace, where they shall rest from all their troubles and from all care, and sorrow.13 And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of the wicked, yea, who are evil—for behold, they have no part nor portion of the Spirit of the Lord; for behold, they chose evil works rather than good; therefore the spirit of the devil did enter into them, and take possession of their house—and these shall be cast out into outer darkness; there shall be weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth, and this because of their own iniquity, being led captive by the will of the devil.14 Now this is the state of the souls of the wicked, yea, in darkness, and a state of awful, fearful looking for the fiery indignation of the wrath of God upon them; thus they remain in this estate, as well as the righteous in paradise, until the time of their resurrection. After Christ coming we will all be resurrected and have are spirits and body be joined together again just like Christ did we will be judged to enter to the kingdom of glory that we worked for. there are Three kingdoms and we find them in the Bible 1 Cor 15:40-42  40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:  The Celestial kingdom is where people that will obey god and do all the things that God has commanded us to do! The terrestrial is where those that Obey but don't do everything that they can do or they just didn't repent and do what was right always. And those who go to stars or the telestial Kingdom is where those that knew of Christ and accepted him but never followed him or what he asked us to do.
               I know that this is true this is the plan that God has for all of us and as well flow this plan and do all that we can to live with him again in the Celestial Kingdom we will have the most joy that we can be looking for! and if you want to learn more visit Mormon.org
