Opposition is the reason we have liberty. Study this.
Liberty
= Freedom to choose, or Free Choice. It is the greatest thing we have
in the world today, the ability to make our own choices, and it is the
right given to us by God: the Freedom to Choose.
Opposition
= Liberty = Jesus Christ = The world has opposition because of Jesus
Christ. That's ok, He told us that would happen. But it is also through
Jesus Christ that we can have liberty and be free.
Because
of this opposition, we have the liberty that we have. But this is not
something I can teach you, and this letter might not even make sense.
It's something that has to be learned from God.
Opposition
existed before the world began. But it's a good thing! It is because of
opposition that we can choose those we love, it is because of opposition that
we can grow and become stronger. It is by opposition that we can know,
without a doubt, that we CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY.
So be grateful for your opposition. And then choose to be free!
I highly recommend the talk from the April Liahona, "The war goes on." Learn for yourself!
God’s plan involved moral agency for mankind and a great sacrifice. Jehovah, known to us as Jesus Christ, volunteered to be that sacrifice—to suffer for all our sins. He was willing to lay down His life for His brothers and sisters so that those who repented could come back clean and eventually become like their Heavenly Father. (See Moses 4:1–4; Abraham 3:27.)
