Book of Mormon Lesson 3: The Plan of Salvation
To Prepare: Read through the linked lesson above and print a copy of the activity below for each child participating. You will also need scissors and glue. (Yes. This is the same activity as the first lesson of Old Testament!)
To Teach: Begin with a prayer. My kids are already familiar with the Plan of Salvation. Whether your kids are or aren’t, this quote is a good intro.
The plan of salvation is “the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, designed to bring about man’s immortality and eternal life. It includes the Creation, Fall, and Atonement, along with all God-given laws, ordinances, and doctrines. This plan makes it possible for all people to be exalted and live forever with God”
We talked a little bit about what it means to be exalted. Read 2 Nephi 2:25-28 and discuss. We then read the list of names for the Plan in the Book of Mormon.
- The great and eternal plan of deliverance from death
- The merciful plan of the great Creator
- The plan of redemption
- The plan of salvation
- The great plan of happiness
- The plan of mercy
The kids all agreed that these sounded like good things. Emphasize that Heavenly Father’s plan is designed to bring His children eternal salvation and happiness. Remind children that we need Jesus Christ’s help to make it through the plan and get back to Heavenly Father. As we choose to live the gospel of Jesus Christ and follow God’s plan, we prepare to receive eternal life through the Savior’s Atonement.
Finish with the cut and glue, being sure to explain each step as they complete it. You did it!
