As children of God, we are more than just regular people confined to this earthly plane, and this has been a central theme in spiritual teachings from the very beginning. Actually, we are more like a band of heavenly messengers (ambassadors), given the Holy Spirit as an empowering force to accomplish a sacred mission which is to make known in our own spheres of influence the heavenly truths of the Gospel.
