Jesus Christ --> Antemortal Existence of - Day 6

 1 Peter 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you.

How strong is foreordination? I trust that we always have our agency. Was foreordination something only offered, and something only accepted if God the Father and the recipient were sure that it would be fulfilled? That the soul would not make another choice once in this earth life?

Mosiah 7:27 And because he said unto them that Christ was the God, the Father of all things, and said that he should take upon him the image of man, and it should be the image after which man was created in the beginning; or in other words, he said that man was created after the image of God, and that God should come down among the children of men, and take upon him flesh and blood, and go forth upon the face of the earth--

This was the plan and we all accepted it, including Jesus Christ.

D&C 76:13-14 Even those things which were from the beginning before the world was, which were ordained of the Father, through his Only begotten Son, who was in the bosom of the Father, even from the beginning;  14 Of whom we bear record; and the record which we bear is the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, who is the Son, whom we saw and with whom we conversed in the heavenly vision.

This plan, and the role of Jesus Christ was 'ordained' of God. And it was ordained before Christ created the earth, so it was FORE-ordained.
