Why is it so important to learn about the creation?

That question came up a couple weeks ago in Sunday school and so I started thinking about it. Why is it so important? The creation of the Earth was not the beginning. We were Spirits living with Heavenly Father before the Earth was created. The creation of the Earth was the beginning of how Heavenly Father's plan started. He gave us a beautiful world so we could come and gain bodies and live a life. It is very important for us to know where we came from and how we got here. Everyone questions that sometime in his or her life. So Heavenly Father has given us the knowledge of where we came from and how we got here and it all started with Adam and Eve.

To learn where we came from, why we are here, and what we are supposed to do while we are here. I know for me the whole plan wouldn't make sense without knowing about the creation. Why do you ask?

It's so true this is important for us to know. We take this for granted because we've known it our whole lives, but some people aren't as lucky as us.

Beyond Grateful

By
I feel a strong urge to shout out my gratefulness to God. I keep thinking today of how blessed I am. I feel so incredibly blessed. I am so happy that I have the knowledge that God is watching over me and helps me find my way. I am so overjoyed that I know, without a single doubt, that He is there for me and everyone else. My crazy life has been in shambles for a long time and yesterday felt like it couldn't get much worse. But today I feel so calm and ready to face my future with optimism. I could have chosen different ways to deal with my problems, but I am glad that I chose this one. I know that I would not feel this peaceful feeling if I chose any other way. I understand better when the prophets in the scriptures talk about having a desire to proclaim the gospel to everyone. Why wouldn't you want to feel such happiness? Any worldly way cannot bring ultimate and long term happiness. So I want to repeat what those prophets have said, "Come unto Christ." He has gone t...

A Noteworthy Quote

By
"But make no mistake about it, brothers and sisters, in the months and years ahead, events are likely to require each member to decide whether or not he will follow the First Presidency. Members will find it more difficult to halt longer between two opinions.(see 1 kings 18:21) President Marion G. Romney said, many years ago, that he had 'never hesitated to follow the counsel of the Authorities of the Church even though it crossed my social, professional or political life.' "This is hard doctrine, but it is particularly vital doctrine in a society which is becoming more wicked. In short, brothers and sisters, not being ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ includes not being ashamed of the prophets of Jesus Christ. . . . Your discipleship may see the time when such religious convictions are discounted. . . . This new irreligious imperialism seeks to disallow certain opinions simply because those opinions grow out of religious convictions. "Resistance to abortion ...

Listening to Promptings

By
I have listened and read Elder Scott's talk called To Acquire Spiritual Guidance . I really liked it a lot. It was the first talk of the conference and totally inspiring. It really made me want to practice listening to promptings I recieve and write them down, pray about them and follow through. I have wondered if thoughts that come to my head are just my own thoughts or if they are the Holy Ghost. One thing Elder Scott said was: " I witness that as you gain experience and success in being guided by the Spirit, your confidence in the impressions you feel can become more certain than your dependence on what you see or hear."
