What was the goal for the Mormons who migrated to Utah?

Answer 1

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were persecuted for their beliefs and were driven out of their homes and property in Ohio, Missouri and Illinois. They crossed the plains to find a place where they would be safer and could practice their religion according to their beliefs. When these "Mormon" pioneers reached the Salt Lake valley, their leader, Brigham Young, pronounced that "This is the Right Place". The Mormon pioneers, subsequently, began to settle the sparcely populated land named Utah in July of 1847.

Answer 2

The goal of all Mormons, according to a published revelation given to Joseph Smith, is the same as the goal of God: "To bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man" (Moses 1:39). It is in this way that an individual may become closer to and indeed one with God - in working through Him to accomplish His goal of the salvation and exaltation of all His children. This is the reason behind everything that Mormons do, from missionary work to community service to Temple ceremonies to strengthening families - it is all about uplifting those that we come in contact with in hopes that it will bring them (and us) closer to God and thus salvation.

Answer 3

Joseph Smith believed that the goal for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) and indeed all mankind is eternal life with God. Mormons believe that the purpose of life is to become one with God in His purpose of bringing to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. This is the reason behind everything that Mormons do, from community service to preaching to raising families - it all helps them to better understand God and brings others closer to Him.
