Free will is defined by our textbook as “the power of acting without the constraint; the ability to act at one's own will, a gift from God’. In order for this to be true, you must have the ability to make…

The Pearl of Great Price is an ideal place to learn about agency because it shows us the story of our first brothers and sisters to practice using agency in the flesh, through Adam and Eve’s experience falling from the presence of God and exercising their agency outside the Garden of Eden.
