Genesis 17:1-8
“The ultimate blessings of the Abrahamic
covenant are conferred in holy temples. These blessings allow us to come forth
in the First Resurrection and inherit thrones, kingdoms, powers,
principalities, and dominions, to our ‘exaltation and glory in all things.’”
(Elder Russell M. Nelson, in “Special
Witnesses of Christ,” Ensign or Liahona, Apr. 2001, 7).
Genesis 17:1-8
“When he or
she is married in the temple for time and for
all eternity, each worthy member of the Church enters personally into the same
covenant the Lord made with Abraham. This is the occasion when the
promises of eternal increase are made, and it is then specified that those who
keep the covenants made there shall be inheritors of all the blessings of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” (Elder
Bruce R. McConkie, A New Witness for the Articles of
Faith [1985], 508).
