The plan of redemption is essential for individuals and families to progress. The plan of redemption consists of these three doctrinal pillars.
1. The creation of Earth and all mankind
We each experience a creation spiritually and physically. Spiritually through our Heavenly parents and physically through our earthly parents.
2. The Fall of Adam and Eve
When we are born and leave God we experience a fallen state. We also experience falls in life when we sin and fall away from God's plan for us.
3. The Atonement of Jesus Christ
We experience the atonement when we choose to repent and change our lives. We receive the blessing of forgiveness and healing.
Metaphorically
1. Creation happens often within our lives; getting married, beginning school, the birth of a child, new job, new calling....... This is an optimistic time filled with hope.
2. Falls happen often throughout our lives as well; periods of adversity, affliction, opposition.... This is a difficult reality of your present state.
3. Healing and reconciliation are also part of our mortal life; recognizing the Savior and overcoming tribulation.
