Where did I come from?
Latter-day Saints believe we lived with God before we were born. In that premortal life, we were His spirit children, and He presented a plan that would allow us to come to earth, receive a body, learn, choose, and grow. References: Premortality; Council in Heaven; Abraham 3:22–26.
Earth life is therefore part of a much larger story. We did not begin at birth, and we do not believe our existence ends at death. We are part of Heavenly Father’s plan to help His children progress and return to Him. References: Premortality; Plan of Salvation.
