The justice required of sin is simple-all who have sin on their soul have to exist away from God for eternity unless that sin is removed. With sin there is a consequence, a form of 'justtice.' Sin results in separation from God. It prevents us from experiencing his presence. But in this life, Sin became thebarrier between us and God.

The ultimate goal of this life is simply to get back to God. If sin is within us, when this life ends, we can not exist in the place and state where God is. There is a new life beyond our imagination that he has prepared for those who love him. God wants mankind to be with him when this life ends. Having sin in our soul for ever is an eternal problem that God wanted to change.

Unless we are changed by God and that sin is removed, sin will stay with us forever. That sin is within our souls, it is part of our thoughts and very being. Rebellion against God is a spiritual problem that causes eternal problems for our souls. Sin is exerting our own will over God's will. If we ignore His advice and guidance for us, we experience sin. Sin is simply the act of mankind making choices which separate us from from God. That way is through a sacrifice made by Jesus Christ for each of us, and it is a beautiful story. He has prepared a way for us to come to him again, someday. God is a wonderful, loving being with intelligence and wisdom far beyond our own. God's desire is that each Human soul find Him in this life, and spend eternity with Him. God prepared this world as a place where our souls' character is forged-through happiness and adversity. This life is a preparation to meet God and be with Him again in eternity. This plan is revealed through the life of Jesus Christ. God has a wonderful plan to bring our souls (the inner, eternal part of each of us that can not die) back to live with him in Eternity. Your life was not an accident, nor your existence without purpose. God's plan of salvation, revealed through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, helps us understand the meaning to many perplexing questions such as "Why am I here?" "What Happens when I Die?" "Is there Life after Death?" We have life, we grow, we learn, we feel pain, we ask questions, we search for happiness. The True StoryĪs humans, we share common experiences. And the honor be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, which is one God. And we know that if we are faithful in Christ, we shall rid our garments of the blood of all men, and be found spotless before the judgment-seat of Christ, and shall dwell with him eternally in the heavens. Nevertheless, the voice of the Lord commanded us that we should bear record of it wherefore, to be obedient unto the commandments of God, we bear testimony of these things. And we declare with words of soberness, that an angel of God came down from heaven, and he brought and laid before our eyes, that we beheld and saw the plates, and the engravings thereon and we know that it is by the grace of God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, that we beheld and bear record that these things are true. And we also testify that we have seen the engravings which are upon the plates and they have been shown unto us by the power of God, and not of man. And we also know that they have been translated by the gift and power of God, for his voice hath declared it unto us wherefore we know of a surety that the work is true. Be it known unto all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, unto whom this work shall come: That we, through the grace of God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, have seen the plates which contain this record, which is a record of the people of Nephi, and also of the Lamanites, their brethren, and also of the people of Jared, who came from the tower of which hath been spoken.
