My Life's Purpose: How Do I Progress To Become As The Savior? Part I

A new horizon reaching the eternities

An exhilarating off-road course, colossal black basalt boulders the size of small homes, treacherous twists and turns through mountain terrain, topped with aromatic sensation of sweet Douglas fir. Greetings from the Pacific Northwest.

A city grid system, three hour gridlock at rush hour (a preeminent), smells of gasoline exhaust cloud over the beaming Southern California sun, want to be "movie stars," grace the masses with their glamorous appearances. All of these troubles and distractions give way to a golden sandy beach sporting waves that draw surfers from all parts of the county. Welcome to Los Angles.

A quiet suburban subdivision, blonde haired blue eyed children innocently play in the streets; not a care in the world, no worries nor troubles. They "know" more than their parents (or so they think), who spoil them relentlessly with monthly trips to amusement parks and all of the latest and greatest releases from Apple. Another day in the quiet, worry-free realm of naiveté. Welcome to bedroom community, USA.

Different road courses, different types of people. The same mission.

Think of it like this, imagine yourself driving a car...

In the beginning we chose to follow God's plan for us to become like him

He in turn gave us our car (a.k.a. our body) to handle the terrain of our mission.

Adam and Eve through their desicisom of partaking the fruit of the tree of good and evil opened the starting gate for the cars to begin their course, meaning that children could be brought into this world. The decision and the consequence of opening the starting gate effects no one except the ones who made the motion. We Believe that we will be punished for our own sins and not for Adam's transgression. 

We came down to earth to go through a driving course (courses vary from individual to individual), to see if we qualify to become like our Heavenly Father. (Birth)

Ever person's course is a little different. Despite our differences, everyone has five checkpoints in their driving test.

1.    Possess a love for the Savior Jesus Christ and have an active faith and knowledge of his  divinity and Devine power.

2.    Acting on our faith we desire to repent. Repentance proves a willingness and a desire to forsake all wrongdoings and parallel our lives to Christ's.

3.    Walk the talk. Physically juxtapose Jesus the Christ's path by entering the waters of baptism with one authorized to act in the name of Heavenly Father by His holy priesthood.

4.    Receive a guidance and a witness of The Lord's hand in your life. After baptism comes the gift of the Holy Ghost given by hands laid on your head by men who posses the same restored priesthood of Jesus Christ.

5.    Continue the upward climb; never become complacent. Success comes only to those who endure to the end.

As we go through our driving course, the car gets some dings, dents, scratches, road film, mud, and wear. No one or car is exempt. Eventually the car wears out, and we exit the vehicle (Death).

Does life continue after death?
