Genesis 15-17


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).
