Our Agency, a Part of the Great Plan of Happiness

"As children of God, we learn we are part of His 'great plan of happiness' (Alma 42:8)."We know that there was a War in Heaven and Lucifer and those who followed him were cast out without bodies:" 'Satan, that old serpent, even the devil, . . . rebelled against God, and sought to take the kingdom of our God and his Christ—" 'Wherefore, he maketh war with the saints of God, and encompasseth them round about' (D&C 76:28–29)."We were given our agency. We must use it wisely and remain close to the Spirit; otherwise, we foolishly find ourselves yielding to the enticements of the adversary."

Boyd K. Packer
