“Elder Bruce R. McConkie called these [the Creation, the Fall, and the Atonement] ‘the three pillars of eternity’ and the ‘greatest events that have ever occurred in all eternity.’ He explained: ‘If we can gain an understanding of them, then the whole eternal scheme of things will fall into place, and we will be in a position to work out our own salvation. … These three are the foundations upon which all things rest. Without any one of them all things would lose their purpose and meaning and the plans and designs of Deity would come to naught’ [‘Three Pillars of Eternity’]” (Fronk, “Show Forth Good Examples in Me,” 325).
