“In our preexistent state, in the day of the great council, we made a certain agreement with the Almighty. . . . We agreed, right then and there, to be not only saviors for ourselves but . . . saviors for the whole human family. We went into a partnership with the Lord. The working out of the [Father’s] plan became then not merely the Father’s work, and the Savior’s work, but also our work”.
