"Latter-day Saints believe that eons ago, God, in his infinite wisdom and never-ending mercy, formulated a plan whereby his children could experience a physical existence, including mortality, and then return to live in his presence in eternal felicity and glory. This plan, alternately called 'the Plan of Salvation' (Jarom 1:2; Alma 42:5; Moses 6:62), 'the plan of redemption' (Jacob 6:8; Alma 12:25;42:11), and the 'great plan of happiness' (Alma 42:8), provided both the way and the means for everyone to receive salvation and gain eternal life. Eternal life is God's greatest gift to his children (D&C 6:13), and the Plan of Salvation is his way of making it available to them. Although the term 'Plan of Salvation' is used repeatedly in latter-day scripture, it does not occur in the Bible, though the doctrines pertaining to it are discoverable in its pages." [Author]
