When you got going this morning did you have a plan for the day? Of course. We plan our day so we are prepared, productive, and can meet our objectives.
We make plans over different time frames: hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, even a lifetime.
What will you be doing in 5,000 years, do you have a plan that extends beyond this life? If you believe that the spirit continues to exist even after the body dies then it only makes sense that we have plans that extend beyond death.
The same reasons we have plans for this day apply for having a plan beyond death: being prepared, productive, and meeting our objectives.
If our objective is lasting happiness then consider the plan our Creator established so we can achieve it.
There are two elements that keep us from happiness beyond the death: physical death and sin. We just need to overcome them.
It’s really quite simple. In the Atonement of Jesus Christ is the power to overcome physical death through the resurrection and sin through repentance.
All you have to do to overcome physical death is to die. No problem there, we all will. Later, through the power of the Atonement, we’ll all be resurrected.
To overcome sin all we have to do is repent.
So that’s the plan if you want it. Uncomplicated, powerful, and attainable.
