Gods Eternal Plan

Well as we continue to progress in Gods Plan, we can truly see the love that God has for all of us as his Children. How He wants us to return to be with him and how important the growth in this life is. Today I would like to discuss what happens to us after we are judged. My personal feeling is that this part is one of the greatest part on Gods Plan.

We believe that after we are judged according or works by our perfect judges, Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. We will be placed in a place that best fits what we have done. We call these The Kingdoms of Glory. They are separated into 3 kingdom; The Celestial, The Terrestial, and The Telestial. They are all considered Heaven, but like it stats in 1 Corinthians 15: 41; "one star (or kingdom) differs from the other".

The Celestial Kingdom is the highest Glory that we can receive. This is compared to the glory of the Sun. Just like today if we look at the sun, it is the brightest and we can't really look at it for a long period of time. I think this is how the Celestial Kingdom is, it is the brightest, purist. Why? Cause that is where our Heavenly Father presides, only the best for the ultimate creator, our Heavenly Father. This is where we can be in the presence of God, and Jesus Christ. And also where we can be with our family together forever. This is the place for those that followed the Example of Jesus Christ, accepted His Gospel and lived it, and always followed The commandments of God.

The Terrestial Kingdom is the 2nd Glory. This is compared to the glory of the moon. I like to think it as, how we can look at it for a very long time unlike the sun, but it gives off a good portion of light that we can see around us. So it still is a good place but of course there is something a little better, such as the sun. This is the place that those that lived honorable lives but just didn't live the Gospel of Jesus Christ as well as they should have.

The Telestial Kingdom is the 3rd Glory. This is compared the the glory of the stars. As we go down the list, the sun the brightest, the moon a little less brighter and then the stars, they still give off light but not nearly as much light as the moon and the sun. This is the glory that those that never accepted Christ Church and that never repented of their sins will receive.

Whatever Glory we receive, we will be happy with that one. We always have to remember it all is because of our desires and works here on earth that we receive that glory. That again is why it is so important to live worthy of Gods spirit on this earth. To help lead and guide us in this life so we can receive the greatest Glory. The Celestial Glory. To be in Gods presence and the be the happiest we can be.

I know that this is Gods Eternal Plan for all of us. As we think, ponder and pray about "Where did I come from, Why am I here, and Where am I going" we can truly see Gods loving hand in all our lives and how we needed a perfect plan so we can be like our Heavenly Father. I know as we strive to live faithful lives and follow the example of Jesus Christ, that we to can one day return to be in Gods presence again, He wants all of us back. We need to remember that at all times, when times are rough, think about that. We can get through them, and we will also know that everything we face is part of Gods Plan. I hope and pray that what I have focused on and talked on for the past week or so, has opened all of your eyes to see that God does truly love you all. I say these things in the name of Jesus Chrsit, Amen.
