THE PLAN OF HAPPINESS: OPPOSITION IN ALL THINGS

WHY DO WE NEED OPPOSITION, AND WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?



Lets start with where did opposition come from?
Adam and Eve were our first parents here on Earth. God created them and gave them commandments. One commandment He gave them was to"populate and replenish the Earth", or in other words have children. The other was to not partake of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil because in so doing would lead to death. It is important to know a scripture from the Book of Mormon, "But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things." (2 Nephi 2:24). God is in control of all things. He does have a plan for you and me.



It was necessary that Adam and Eve partook of the fruit in so doing would give us an "opposition in all things." We will all go through trials, and sweet times in life. God himself told Joseph Smith that "all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good." The thing that really matters is what will you chose each and every day? Will you chose God and His plan of Salvation for you, or will you chose to follow the Satan and his plan for your misery?
