Doctrine: Jesus Christ was foreordained to be your Savior
Read 1 Nephi 4:19-5:6
Lehi comforts Sariah in verses 4 and 5 and speaks to "the goodness of God." To what is he referring? Look at 1 Nephi 1:1 and 2 Nephi 9:10 for help.
Read Abraham 3:24-27 and 1 Peter 1:19-20 and search for the Savior's role in God's plan.
Study Tip: If there are words or phrases in the scriptures you do not understand, take some time to look them up. The Topical Guide, Bible Dictionary, and searching LDS.org are great places to start.
What did you learn about Christ's role?
How can it be helpful to know Christ was foreordained by Heavenly Father?
Review Moses 4:2 and the following from Elder Holland about Christ's preparation.
"[Jesus Christ] was apparently the only one sufficiently humble and willing in the premortal council to be foreordained to [bring about the infinite Atonement]" ("The Atonement of Jesus Christ," Ensign, Mar. 2008, 35)
Remember you were at this council. Joseph Smith shared "At the first organization in heaven we were all present and saw the Savior chosen and appointed and the plan of salvation made, and we sanctioned it" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith [2007], 209)
What do you think you know about Jehovah that would have led you to sustain His call and appointment as your Savior and Redeemer?
