In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we believe that after we die we go to a place called the Spirit World. This place is a Waiting Room, for the Resurrection, (which I will address in a later day). In the Spirit World, we learn and we grow just like we did in this life on Earth. And we also get the opportunity to hear about Jesus Christ and accept his Gospel. Not everyone in the World has even heard about Jesus Christ or God.
Its great to know that God loves each and everyone of us and wants us all to know and hear about Him and His Gospel. With Christ being the Center of Gods Plan, and He is the only way we can be saved or return to be with our Heavenly Father, we need to hear about him, and grow in his Gospel. That is why the Spirit World is so important in Gods Plan, because those that haven't had that opportunity to accept Christ in their lives then they would not have a chance of returning to be with their Heavenly Father.
And with everything that i have talked about before this, I said How God loves us and He wants us back, So we need every way that we can to accept Christ and the Spirit World is one of those ways.
I know that The Spirit World is nessasary to us returning to be with our Heavenly Father. In Matthew 5:48 it says, Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. God wants us to be perfect like He is, but we are not perfect in this life, but as we continue to strive to be as He is then after this life in the Spirit World we will be able to prgress even more to becoming like he is.
God's eternal plan is an awesome series! It brings so much comfort for me to know where my loved ones go after this life. My grandpa died just over a year ago. It was incredibly hard, but at the same time happy. I know he is at peace now. Resting from all his cares and pain. Wonderful post Elder!
