Creation and The Fall


Through Jesus Christ, God created the world along with Adam and Eve. Oh our first parents, such an interesting story. Placed in a garden where everything is perfect and there is no opposition. Sounds like bliss. But that is the problem, there was no trials or sin or wickedness. I love how it is described in The Book of Mormon, "And now, behold, if Adam had not transgressed he would not have fallen, but he would have remained in the garden of Eden. And all things which were created must have remained in the same state in which they were after they were created; and they must have remained forever, and had no end. And they would have had no children; wherefore they would have remained in a state of innocence, having no joy, for they knew no misery; doing no good, for they knew no sin.But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things.Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy." (2 Nephi 2:22-24) The fall of Adam and Eve was a part of God's plan. It enables us to learn and grow. 


If you want to learn more about the fall of Adam and Eve the whole chapter of 2 Nephi 2 is awesome for that.
