Attached is a handout of the plan of salvation which I recently adapted from a handout my husband received on his mission. (The original handout was not copyrighted.) I currently teach Gospel Doctrine and found it helpful when we were discussing the atonement since it is so descriptive. The only thing I was unable to do was to shade in the bottom half of the arrows which represent “birth” and…

I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6). Before Heavenly Father sent us to earth, He chose Jesus Christ to be our leader and Savior. You chose to follow Jesus Christ before you were born. When Jesus came to earth, He taught the gospel and set up His Church. He kept His promise to be our Savior. He…

We have prophets today who teach us about Jesus Christ, too. We may learn of Jesus Christ by following the prophets who lived long ago and prophets who live on the earth today. Elder…

Here’s a demonstration of the salt/pepper/static electricity object lesson used to visually emphasize the power of the Atonement in making us clean again:
Karen Ashton, “Sharing Time: Jesus Christ’s Atonement Is the Greatest Gift of Love,” Friend, Feb 1996, 36 “He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him (2 Ne. 26:24).” Do you know that you lived with Heavenly Father before you were born?

It is possible for…
