Seven of Everything

The Kingdom of God After we are resurrected, those who go back to heaven will enter the kingdom of God. This is called salvation and eternal life. This is the greatest gift of God. Revelation from God shows us that although everyone who fully repents will be saved in the kingdom of God, not everyone will receive the same glory from God. Those who were the most wicked in this life and did many bad things, after they repent and are resurrected, they will receive a glory comparable to the stars in the sky in brightness. Because these people have been so bad, repentance will be both very hard and very painful but because of Jesus Christ it will be possible. It will also be worth the difficulty because they will become clean and holy. These people will enter the kingdom of God and be in a lower kingdom called the telestial kingdom. These people will receive the Holy Spirit and become servants of God. Those who were mostly good in this life, after they repent and are resurrected will recei...

Birth Birth helps us become more like our Heavenly Father by receiving a body and learning how to use it. We would also have opportunities to gain experience using and refining godly attributes that we need to b...

There are many diagrams, graphics and visual aids used to depict the plan of salvation including one generally used throughout the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and known to most members of the church. I used to like it and use it until I found that it often promoted some concepts that are not scripturally accurate and even some false concepts. I have found a few that are better than the traditional one but still don't want to use them to teach primary children or investigators for one reason or another. Here is a visual aid that is both simple and scripturally accurate. There probably isn't much weaknesses in it due to its simplicity which is meant for explaining it to children and investigators. It may open a little can of worms for members of the church who have been taught some false opinions that have persisted in the church for many years and which have been detailed out in previous posts. Below is the visual aid and an explanation for it - not how i...
