The principle of agency as revealed to and taught by the Prophet Joseph Smith constitutes an integral part of the restored gospel. Joseph once referred to agency as “that free independence of mind which heaven has so graciously bestowed upon the human family as one of its choicest gifts.” [1] Blessed with numerous visions, revelations, and other spiritual privileges, Joseph understood heaven’s gifts perhaps more than any other Latter-day Saint; he was certainly qualified to make this statement. To understand agency as Joseph did—as one of heaven’s “choicest gifts”—one must look to his contributions regarding the principle. Indeed, his teachings play a vital role in the Latter-day Saint understanding of agency. [Author]
