Jesus Christ. There for us, from the Beginning.

Before we existed here, we existed as spirits, with God, The Father, and He loved us. He wanted us us all to grow and become like Him, and so he presented a plan to us, where he would create a physical world and there He would give us the opportunity to learn and grow.
We were all present when God presented this plan to us; that we would all be given a physical body, and that we would all be tested to see if we would follow God. In order to make this plan perfect God said that he would need a savior, someone who would keep all of the commandments which God would give to us and would be willing to suffer the pains and sicknesses that all of us experience, and then ultimately to sacrifice his life for us to pay the price of the wrong choices that we make.

In the spirit world there was one spirit there who was like God. He was Jesus Christ. He said to the Father, Here I am, send me. There was also another who said Here I am, send me, and I will make sure that nobody will fail. The second was Lucifer. His plan was that all of us would be guaranteed to make it because we would not have any choice in this world, but God knew that this plan could not work and that our ability to choose is what helps us to grow and to be happy.

 Jesus Christ was then foreordained from before the foundation of the world to save us just like it says in
 1 Peter 1;18-20. and Lucifer rebelled against God. He then became Satan the father of all lies. He was then cast out along with his followers and they desired to lead all of us away from God and to be as miserable as they are.

And so when Adam and Eve were placed in the Garden of Eden in a state of innocence where they gained a physical body. They could not have children at this stage because they had no knowledge of good or evil. Satan than tempted them to break God's commandments. They ate the fruit and gained knowledge of good and evil, and they became fallen, being cast out of the garden and out of God's presence.

Our gaining this knowledge for ourselves was a part of God's plan. This is why he chose a savior from the beginning. This knowledge allows us to act for ourselves; whether we choose to do good and follow God, or whether we do evil and follow Satan.

So, When Christ came to the earth he lived a perfect life, and because he lived a life free from sin, he was able to offer himself a sacrifice for our sins and allow us all the opportunity to return to God. There is nothing that his sacrifice did not cover. All we have to do is learn for ourselves what heaven will be like. We learn this by keeping his commandments and experiencing the joy that comes from following God.

Finally, after his crucifixion, Jesus Christ was resurrected. He overcame death itself, that we all may be resurrected one day as well. How great was the trust and responsibility that God, The Father, had in his perfect Son.
