“Because of God’s love for us, He prepared a plan that included our coming to the earth, where we would receive bodies and be tested so that we could progress and become more like Him. This plan is called “the plan of salvation” (Alma 24:14), “the great plan of happiness” (Alma 42:8), and “the plan of redemption” (Alma 12:25; see also verses 26–33).” Families and the Church in God’s Plan Handbook 2: Administering the Church

Mosiah 3: 13… Prophets were sent to earth to declare to every kindred, nation, and tongue that those that Believe Christ will come, they will receive a remission of their sins, with great joy, as if he had already come. Before Christ, prophets helped people believe in the future atonement of Christ, because it hadn’t happened yet.
Mosiah 3: 5-11… Prophecy of Christ coming to earth to work might miracles, like healing the sick, raising the dead, causing the lame to walk, the blind to receive their sight, the deaf to hear, and curing of diseases, casting out devils, suffered all we did/do on earth, even until blood came from every pore.

“I have heard very fearful and even dismal opinions coming from some in your age group regarding the questions that missionary had in mind. I have heard some of you say that you wonder whether there is any purpose in going on a mission or getting an education or planning for a career if the world we live in is going to be so uncertain. I have even heard sweethearts say, “We don’t know whether we should get married in such uncertain times.” Worst of all, I have heard reports of some newlyweds questioning whether they should bring children into a terror-filled world on the brink of latter-day cataclysms. May I tell you that, in a way, those kinds of attitudes worry me more than Al-Qaeda worries me. We must never, in any age or circumstance, let fear and the father of fear (Satan himself) divert us from our faith and faithful living. There have always been questions about the future. Every young person and every young couple in every era has had to walk by faith into what has always been some uncertainty—starting with Adam and Eve in those first tremulous steps out of the Garden of Eden. But that is all right. This is the plan. It will be okay. Just be faithful. God is in charge. He knows your name and He knows your need.” Broken Things to Mend (Jeffrey R. Holland) Kindle Loc. 778-87
“We have been placed upon earth not to fail or fall victim to temptation’s snare but rather to succeed.” Meeting Your Goliath (Thomas S. Monson) Kindle Loc. 56-57
“We cannot foresee what the Lord has in mind for us. Our only course of action is to be prepared and worthy for whatever he requires. We must govern our actions every day with our future in mind.” (M. Russell Ballard, Ensign, Nov. 1990, 35-36)
(Mos. 1:39) “God’s purpose can best be expressed in [this verse]. In the expansiveness of space, there is stunning personalizes, for God knows and loves each of us. We are not ciphers in unexplained space. Remember the Psalmist’s query, ‘What is man that thou art mindful of him?’ [Psm. 8:4] yet mankind is at the very center of God’s work. We are the sheep of His hand and the people of His pasture. His work includes our immortalization – accomplished by Christ’s glorious atonement. Think of it, brothers and sisters, even with their extensive longevity, stars are not immortal. But we are.” (Neal A. Maxwell, Church News, 17 Aug. 2002, 3)
“The Lord has made no secret of the fact that He intends to try the faith and the patience of His Saints. (Mosiah 23:21.) We mortals are so quick to forget the Lord: ‘And thus we see that except the Lord doth chasten his people with many afflictions…they will not remember him’ (Helaman 12:3). However, the Lord knows our bearing capacity, both as to coping and to comprehending, and He will not give us more to bear than we can manage at the moment, though to us it may seem otherwise. (DC 50:40; DC 78:18.) Just as no temptations will come to us from which we cannot escape or which we cannot bear, we will not be given more trials than we can sustain. (1 Corinthians 10:13.)…President Brigham Young said of a geographical destination, ‘This is the place.’ Of God’s plan of salvation, with its developmental destination, it can be said, ‘This is the process’! President Young, who knew something about trial and tribulation but also of man’s high destiny, said that the Lord lets us pass through these experiences that we might become true friends of God. By developing our individual capacities, wisely exercising our agency, and trusting God—including when we feel forsaken and alone—then we can, said President Young, learn to be ‘righteous in the dark.’ (Secretary’s Journal, 28 Jan. 1857.) The gospel glow we see radiating from some—amid dark difficulties—comes from illuminated individuals who are ‘of good cheer’! To be cheerful when others are in despair, to keep the faith when others falter, to be true even when we feel forsaken—all of these are deeply desired outcomes during the deliberate, divine tutorials which God gives to us—because He loves us. (Msh. 3:19.) These learning experiences must not be misread as divine indifference. Instead, such tutorials are a part of the divine unfolding.” (Neal A. Maxwell, Ensign, Nov. 1982, 67)
““The Son of God [said]: “I’ll go down and pay the price. I’ll be the Redeemer and redeem men from Adam’s transgression. I’ll take upon me the sins of the world and redeem or save every soul from his own sins who will repent.” 12 Let us illustrate: A man walking along the road happens to fall into a pit so deep and dark that he cannot climb to the surface and regain his freedom. How can he save himself from his predicament? Not by any exertions on his own part, for there is no means of escape in the pit. He calls for help, and some kindly disposed soul, hearing his cries for relief, hastens to his assistance and by lowering a ladder, gives to him the means by which he may climb again to the surface of the earth. This was precisely the condition that Adam placed himself and his posterity in, when he partook of the forbidden fruit. All being together in the pit, none could gain the surface and relieve the others. The pit was banishment from the presence of the Lord and temporal death, the dissolution of the body. And all being subject to death, none could provide the means of escape. 13 The Savior comes along, not subject to that pit, and lowers the ladder. He comes down into the pit and makes it possible for us to use the ladder to escape. 14” Chapter 3: The Plan of Salvation, Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Fielding Smith, (2013), 58–71
“…One distant day it will…become more apparent than it now is that our loving Father is doing all even He possibly can do to help us! The Restored gospel of Jesus Christ is evidence of His help.” (Neal A. Maxwell, Ensign, Mar. 1998, 13)
“…Our decisions here lay the foundation for what awaits us there.” (Gerald E. Melchin, Ensign, May 1994, 81)
“Life will teach us some things we didn’t think we wanted to know. These hard lessons can be the most valuable ones.” (Boyd K. Packer,Ensign, Feb. 2000, 10)
2 Nephi 31: 19-20…Once we are baptized, is that all we need to do? No, because we have made it to this point because of our faith in Christ. We should continue in Christ, with hope, love of God, love of all men, feast upon the word of Christ, endure to the end, then the Father says “Ye shall have eternal life”.
