Doctrine and Covenants 29

I found some pretty facinating truths about the Creation, the Fall, and the Atonement in section 29 of the Doctrine and Covenants.

Creation

D&C 29:30  But remember that all my judgements are not given unto men; and as the words have gone forth out of my mouth even so shall they be fulfilled, that the first shall be last, and that the last shall be first in all things whatsoever I have created by the word of my power, which is the power of my Spirit.

The world was created by the word of God. He is extremely powerful.

D&C 29:31-32  For by the power of my Spirit created I them; yea, all things both spiritual and temporal-
                         First spiritual, secondly temporal, which is the beginning of my work.

Everything was created both spiritually and temporally. Our spirits were created before our bodies.

Fall

D&C 29:40-41  Wherefore, it came to pass that the devil tempted Adam, and he partook of the forbidden fruit and transgressed the commandment, wherein he became subject to the will of the devil, because he yielded unto temptation.
                         Wherefore, I, the Lord God, caused that he should be cast out from the Garden of Eden, from my presence, because of his transgression, wherein he became spiritually dead, which is the first death, even that same death which is the last death, which is spritual, which shall be pronounced upon the wicked when I shall say: Depart, ye cursed.         

Adam became subject of the devil because he gave into the temptation. This explains that we too can become subjects of the devil if we give in to the temptation.

We can become spiritually dead if we fall into the devil's temptations.
             
Atonement

D&C 29:42  But, behold, I say unto you that I, the Lord God, gave unto Adam and unto his seed, that they should not die as to the temporal death, until I, the Lord God, should send forth angels to declare unto them repentence and redemption, through faith on the name of mine Only Begotten Son.

God gave us the opportunity to repent and prepare before we see him again.

D&C 29:50  And he that hath no understanding, it remaineth in me to do according as it is written. And now I declare no more unto you at this time. Amen.

If you do not have the chance to hear His word here on earth, you will not be judged like those who have.
