The plan required the
Creation, and that in turn required both the Fall
and the Atonement. These are the three fundamental
components of the plan. The creation of a paradisiacal
planet came from God. Mortality and death
came into the world through the Fall of Adam. Immortality and the
possibility of eternal life were provided by the
Atonement of Jesus Christ. The Creation, the
Fall, and the Atonement were planned long before the
actual work of the Creation began.
