Moses 5
We learn that the Lord charged Adam and Eve -
"...that they should worship the Lord their God, and should offer the firstlings of their flocks, for an offering unto the Lord. And Adam was obedient unto the commandments of the Lord." (Moses 5:5)
Obviously, Adam and Eve both demonstrated great faith and obedience for -
"...after many days an angel of the Lord appeared unto Adam, saying: Why dost thou offer sacrifices unto the Lord? And Adam said unto him: I know not, save the Lord commanded me.
7 And then the angel spake, saying: This thing is a similitude of the sacrifice of the Only Begotten of the Father, which is full of grace and truth.
8 Wherefore, thou shalt do all that thou doest in the name of the Son, and thou shalt repent and call upon God in the name of the Son forevermore." (Moses 5:6–8)
Not only because of their obedience and faith they learned much later the reason. And then -
"...the Holy Ghost fell upon Adam..." (Moses 5:9)
Wherefore he continued to receive knowledge and understanding of the things of God. Faith and obedience precedes knowledge and revelation.
