Contrary to most Christian sects, Jacob teaches of a plan whereby people are not condemned in ignorance. Those who have not been given the law are covered by the Atonement of Christ. Some people might conclude that leaving people in ignorance is the easiest way to save most of His children but they fail to recognize that leaving them in ignorance throughout mortality would simply mean that their mortality has less meaning and less happiness than it could have had. Saved by default is better than condemned by default but saved by learning and accepting the gospel is even better than saved by default.
Saved by default also means that condemnation only applies for that portion of truth which a person received if they learned some truth but didn’t have the opportunity to learn other truths.
