Mortality Works: A Temple Message
- Elder Brooke P. Hales shared a widow's son receiving a temple confirmation that 'mortality works.'
- Hilton uses this account to show faithful endurance leads to understanding and peace after hardship.
Atonement Precedes The Fall
- The Atonement was part of God's plan from the beginning, not merely a reaction to the Fall.
- Hilton reminds listeners Christ was prepared 'from the foundation of the world.'
Christ Tips The Scales Toward Hope
- Without Christ we have no hope; with Christ we have all hope because He remedies the unfairness and consequences of the Fall.
- Hilton frames the Fall as tilting toward 'no hope' while Christ's mercy tilts toward 'all hope.'
