One of the Most Absurd Lies in the Universe

"I have learned that Heavenly Father’s plan for us is fabulous, that what we do in this life really matters, and that the Savior’s Atonement is what makes our Father’s plan possible."…

"Because of Jesus Christ’s infinite Atonement, our Heavenly Father’s plan is a perfect plan! An understanding of God’s fabulous plan takes the mystery out of life and the uncertainty out of our future. It allows each of us to choose how we will live here on earth and where we will live forever. The baseless notion that we should “eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die; and it shall be well with us” is one of the most absurd lies in the universe.

"Here is the great news of God’s plan: the very things that will make your mortal life the best it can be are exactly the same things that will make your life throughout all eternity the best it can be!"  – President Russell M. Nelson, "Think Celestial!",  October 2023 General Conference

I love this quote so much.  This is the longer version from a previous post.  Best quote in Conference. How people are offended by this is unfathomable.  But, many people are offended by truth.

Truth is, the "eat, drink, and be merry" philosophy is an absurd lie. A philosophy which, if lived, eventually leads to misery.  The happiness that living such life brings is fleeting and unsustainable.

I also love the truth taught that the things that will make mortal life best, will also make eternity the best.

To echo President Nelson, Heavenly Father's plan for us is fabulous. What we do in mortality really does matter.  And our Savior's atonement is what makes our Heavenly Father's plan possible.

That's my two cents.
