Gospel Consistent from the Beginning of Time

"As the restored Church of Jesus Christ blossoms throughout the globe—now with more than 13 million members—'the faith of our fathers' has an expanded meaning. . . . Often when people learn of the restored gospel, they are impressed by it—many even want to join the Church. But they are reluctant to disappoint their ancestors; they feel they should be true to the faith of their fathers. . . ."What, then, is the faith of our fathers? Is it the religion of our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents? "But what of the faith of the ancient ones before them? What of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? . . . of the Savior and those disciples who followed Him? "The faith of our Father in Heaven has been consistent since the beginning of time, even from before the foundation of this world. . . . "We believe in the great plan of happiness, the plan of redemption, the plan of salvation, whereby God's children may experience mortality and return to the presence of the Father—a merciful plan established from before the foundation of this earth. "This is the plan and the faith of our Father!"
