I am a child of God

With the Lord’s help, I can resist Satan

Heavenly Father has a work for me to do

[T]he first point of doctrine that our missionaries teach is that God is our loving Heavenly Father. Every subsequent truth builds on the foundational understanding of who we really are...While our Heavenly Father consistently and lovingly reminds us that we are His children, the adversary will always try to label us by our weaknesses...Similarly, when we are confronted with the challenges of mortality or when we feel like anyone is trying to label us by our weaknesses, we need to stand strong in the knowledge of who we truly are. We must seek validation vertically, not horizontally. And as we do, we too can boldly proclaim, “I am a child of God.”

Heavenly Father has a work for me to do

With the Lord’s help, I can resist Satan

Heavenly Father has a work for me to do

Moses 1:5-7

Our mortal experience could be compared to a cruise ship...God loves all His children and... does not want to lose any of them, so He invites those who are willing to become members of His crew—that’s you. Because of your choice to make and keep covenants, He offers you His trust. He trusts you to be different, peculiar, and set apart because of the important work He trusts you to do. Think of it! God trusts you—of all the people on the earth, the children of the covenant, His crew members—to help with His work of bringing all His children safely home to Him. As you fulfill your birthright responsibilities, you are never alone. The Lord of the vineyard labors with you.

Learn About God’s Plan for You

With the Lord’s help, I can resist Satan

God’s work and glory is to help me gain eternal life

Moses 1:15-22

There is much we can learn from Moses’s mighty response to temptation from the adversary. I invite you to respond the same way when you feel influenced by temptation. Command the enemy of your soul by saying: “Go away! You have no glory. Do not tempt or lie to me! For I know I am a child of God. And I will always call upon my God for His help.”…Moses’s resistance of the adversary is a vivid and enlightening example for each of us, no matter our stage in life. It is a powerful message for you personally—to know what to do when he tries to deceive you. For you, like Moses, have been blessed with the gift of heavenly help.

God’s work and glory is to help me gain eternal life

God chose His noble spirit children to become rulers before they were born

God’s work and glory is to help me gain eternal life

Moses 1:31-33, 37-39

[O]ur loving, wise, and perfect Heavenly Father has designed the plan of happiness such that we are not destined to fail. His plan provides a way for us to rise above our mortal failures...Nonetheless, if we are to be the beneficiaries of the Lord’s “work and … glory,” even “immortality and eternal life,” we must expect to be schooled and taught and to pass through the refiner’s fire—sometimes to our utter limits...The experiences of mortality are part of the journey that allows us to grow and progress toward that immortality and eternal life. We were not sent here to fail but to succeed in God’s plan for us.

God chose His noble spirit children to become rulers before they were born

Abraham 3:22-23

The Lord has his own way of calling prophets. He knew them before they were ever born here in mortality. We read in the Book of Abraham that the Lord stood in the midst of the spirits, and among them there were noble and great ones—and they couldn’t be noble and great if they hadn’t done something to make them noble and great....The Lord stood in the midst of those spirits, and there were some there who became his prophets here in mortality... Satan knew that he would have to reckon with that man Joseph Smith because he was one of those noble and great ones that God said he would make his rulers.

God chose His noble spirit children to become rulers before they were born

Abraham 3:24-27

The world sees birth and death as the beginning and the end. But because of God’s holy plan, we know that birth and death are actually just milestones on our journey to eternal life with our Heavenly Father. They are essential parts of our Father’s plan—sacred moments when mortality and heaven intersect…“Before we were born, we lived with God, the Father of our spirits. All [of us] on earth are literally brothers and sisters” in His family, and each of us is precious to Him. We lived with Him for eons of time before our mortal birth—learning, choosing, and preparing...In a grand premortal council, our Father told us about His plan.
