Had it not been for a kind and wise Heavenly Father, who seeth all things and who knoweth all things both present, past, and things yet to come, and who in addition provides for the needs of His children, there could have been no resurrection, no Plan of Redemption.
God, knowing that Adam would fall into sin, therefore, even before the incidence of his transgression, made plans to rehabilitate him, and redeem him from the consequences of his guilt.
Redeem means, (1) To buy again something that has been sold, by paying back the price that bought it (32:6). Cruden's Concordance of the Bible By sin came death; sin, it may be said, purchased it. The Plan of Redemption provided that the price which was paid for it be given back. What was that price? Demand was made for death to deliver up all those who were in its bondage, or in its relentless grasp. The ransom was high; only God, himself, could pay it. He alone could meet the prescribed terms. The Plan of Redemption provided beforehand that He would pay the price, even death, to loose the bands of Hell. The blood which was shed on Calvary's Hill was the price that He paid, the Redemption brought about by Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.
Notwithstanding the evil designs of Satan, the Plan of God triumphed. Lucifer, the enemy of Christ and all that is good, struggled vainly to bring the purposes of God to naught. He it was who sought to frustrate God's Plan of Salvation. He would have all the children of God dwell forever in misery, being subject to the will of the devil. But in spite of Satan's cunning the purposes of God rolled on. God's word was sure! It did not fail.
And so, death came upon all mankind. God decreed that after death and the resurrection therefrom, all men must stand before a Higher Judge than man, and there answer for what he did while on Earth, or when in that probationary state of which Alma and Amulek testified.
