Scripture of the week

Titus 1:2

“In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began”

Message

Today I want to go over God's plan of salvation for us…

Before we came down to earth we were in the spirit world where we dwelt with God.

We then came down to inhabit the earth. This is important for two big reasons. The first is so we could gain a physical body that is essential for our growth. The second reason is so that we could continue to learn and grow and also to learn faith.

We go through mortality learning many lessons until we die. When we die our spirit moves into the spirit world where we can learn and teach the gospel with others.

One day we will all be resurrected again and get our bodies back. We will also be judged, this judgment will decide where we go next. 

We can go to one of three levels of glory. The top is said to have the glory of the brightness of the sun, the next is said to have the brightness of the moon, and the last is said to have the brightness of the stars.

All three tiers are supposed to be better than earth and be pleasant places to be, but the highest is the only one where God and Jesus live.

Here are some additional things you can study throughout the week…

2 Nephi 2

2 Nephi 9

Alma 42

Taking care of temporal needs…

You NEED a budget. Without a budget it is like trying to navigate life without the scriptures, you become blind. A budget can help you know where your money is going and can also help you prioritize what is actually most important to you in your life. You do not need a super crazy or strict budget, but you do need a budget of some level.
