  3. “Just as a man does not really desire food until he is hungry, so he does not desire the salvation of Christ until he knows why he needs Christ.” --President Ezra Taft Benson

  4. Lost and Fallen State “Thus all mankind were lost; and behold, they would have been endlessly lost were it not that God redeemed his people from their lost and fallen state.” --Mosiah 16:4

  5. Doctrines of the Fall and its effect on all mankind. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek” --Romans 1:16—scripture mastery

  6. Fundamental 1 of the Fall “The Spirit is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. (2 Nephi 2:4) …It does not matter, in terms of redemption, whether one is born before the Savior’s coming to the earth or afterward. It does not even matter whether one is born on this earth, or on another.” Gerald Lund

  7. “Worlds without number” –Moses 1:33 “Now our Lord’s jurisdiction and power extend far beyond the limits of this one small earth on which we dwell. … …the atonement of Christ, being literally and truly infinite, applies to an infinite number of earths.” Bruce R. McConkie

  8. Fundamental 2 of the Fall “The way is prepared from the fall of man.” (2 Nephi 2:4) The plan of redemption was prepared long before the Fall took place is clearly taught in many places in the scriptures. D&C 128:5 D&C 130:20 The Fall was part of a plan laid down in the very beginning. Gerald Lund

  9. Fundamental 3 of the Fall “Salvation is free.” (2 Nephi 2:4) “Come, my brethren, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters; and he that hath no money, come buy and eat; yea, come buy wine and milk without money and without price. (Isaiah 55:1-2) “Wherefore, do not spend money for that which is of no worth, nor your labor for that which cannot satisfy.” (2 Nephi 9:50-51) Gerald Lund

  10. Fundamental 4 of the Fall “Men are instructed sufficiently that they know good from evil.” (2 Nephi 2:5) “knowing good from evil” is known as the Light of Christ. “For behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God.” (Moroni 7:16) Gerald Lund

  11. Fundamental 5 of the Fall “By the law no flesh is justified.” (2 Nephi 2:5) A primary reason there must be a Redeemer. Gerald Lund

  12. Free to Choose “Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man… …And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil.” 2 Nephi 2:27

  13. Paul’s warning to the Romans The law of Moses alone could not save them. Since no one can live the law perfectly, all are condemned by the law. Romans 2:16 Romans 3:23

  14. Today’s warning Since no one can live the law perfectly, all are condemned by the law. Just by being a member of the Church can not save you “The mission of the church to its members is to make available the principles, programs, and priesthood by which they can prepare themselves for exaltation.” Spencer W. Kimball

  15. Separating from the Lord When People rebel and reject God, they separate themselves from the Holy Ghost …and God allows them to suffer the full effects of their sins. “For the Spirit of the Lord will not always strive with man. And when the spirit ceaseth to strive with man then cometh speedy destruction, and this grieveth my soul.” (2 Nephi 26:11) Romans 1:18-32

  16. Salvation comes to those who accept Jesus as their Redeemer “For I the Lord cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance… …Nevertheless, he that repents and does the commandments of the Lord shall be forgiven.” D&C 1:31-32
