A Quote by Heber J. Grant on body, earth, eternity, existence, experience, fatherhood, maturity, mortality, parenthood, problems, and spirit

The doctrine of pre-existence pours a wonderful flood of light upon the otherwise mysterious problem of man's origin. It shows that man, as a spirit, was begotten and born of heavenly parents and reared to maturity in the eternal mansions of the Father, prior to coming upon the earth in a temporal body to undergo an experience in mortality.
