Families are central to our purpose on earth
Families are central to our purpose on earth
“God instituted marriage and family in the beginning. God created the earth, the garden, and our first parents in order to create families for all of His children to be born into and experience mortal life- especially mortal family life.”1
Family Defined
1 Corinthians 11:11 “Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.”
1 Corinthians 11:11 “Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.”
Moses 3:18 “And I, the Lord God, said unto mine Only Begotten, that it was not good that the man should be alone; wherefore, I will make an help meet for him.”
Families are fundamental to Gods plan
“Parents are partners with our Heavenly Father. He wants each of His spirit children to receive a physical body and to experience earth life. When a man and a woman bring children into this world, they help our Heavenly Father carry out His plan.”2
Salvation is a family affair
“Even though we are personally responsible to work out our own salvation, eternal life-exaltation in the presence of God-is impossible without an eternal companion at our side.”1
