Did I exist before birth? Why am I on earth? Why is Jesus Christ so important?

We all existed before birth. We lived in God's presence as spirits. He loves us more than we can know, and he wants us to reach our full potential as His children. Being the loving Heavenly Father that He is, He created a plan for us to have lasting happiness and have other special blessings.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, plays a crucial role in this plan of happiness. He teaches how we can be happy here on earth, and how we can return to live with our Heavenly Father again. He also was the only person who could suffer for the sins of the entire world. That is very significant because our sins make us imperfect, and we cannot be with God/Heavenly Father again unless we clean ourselves of the harmful effects of sin. The divine teachings of Jesus Christ show us how to be spiritually clean, return to live with them, and receive many other blessings.

We are on earth to be tested. This test is whether or not we will follow the inspired teachings of Jesus Christ. In other words, we are here on earth to see if we will accept or reject God's plan of happiness. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the church that Christ himself organized.
