If not so,...righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad."
2 Nephi 2:11
"The purpose of mortal life for the children of God is to provide the experiences needed "to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize their divine destiny as heirs of eternal life.

To provide alternatives on which to exercise our agency, we must have opposition."
Dallin H. Oaks
