Moses 4:1-4; 1:33-42

Moses 4

v.1
- Isn't it interesting how similar the plans are. Satan always tries to do that; He'll take something good and confuse us by changing it just a little bit. This is why we need to be on our toes.
- Satan's plan undermines the whole Plan of Salvation. The whole purpose is for us to gain eternal life and glory like unto Father's, but he wants us ALL to get that glory by taking away our agency. I an award worth anything when no one had to work toward it?

v.2 - It is interesting how simple this plan is. Christ's response was, whatever you desire Father I will do it. No wonder he is our guide. He didn't say anything about Salvation, being an example -- all he said was "yes, I'll do it." It reminds me of 1 Ne. 3:7.

v.3 - By the Power of the Only Begotten he was able to cast Satan down. This is the same power that members of the priesthood have; they can cast Satan out of their midst in the name of Jesus Christ.

v.4 - It is once he is cast out that Satan became an active advesary of Father and those seeking to have eternal life. I guess it is because all of the sudden we were eligible, as followers of Christ's plan, for this estate, and eternal life hereafter.


Moses Chapter 1

v. 34 - The first man created on any of God's worlds was Adam. Interesting that Earth was where he chose for Adam to be and for Christ to be. Are there "Adams" of the other worlds?

v. 35 - It is interesting that God says that he numbers things on this world, but I read that the worlds he has created are countless. Makes us pretty special in the scheme of things.

v. 38 - there are no ends to his works. This reference make you think that there is no end to his works, like there was no start of finish, but there is also no end to his works here and now. There are so many tender mercies all around us, happening to everyone. God's words do not end here and now.

v. 39 - We are his works. His works are endless in us. I guess as he works on us, we start to do work for him as well as we learn to follow his plan for us; so his works are endless that way too. His work is contageous.
