From 'FAMILY: A PROCLAMATION TO THE WORLD':
"Even before we were born, we were part of a family—the family of our heavenly parents. That pattern continues on earth. Families here, at their best, are meant to echo the perfect pattern in heaven."
*********************
"We didn't come here to 'EARN HEAVEN'. We came to 'LEARN OF HEAVEN".
Further: Moroni 7:13 states: "But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually; wherefore, every thing which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God."
