“Each ordinance and requirement given to man for the purpose of bringing to pass his salvation and exaltation is a covenant.”

Joseph Fielding Smith | Doctrines of Salvation

Topics: Covenants, Ordinances, Purpose

“For each of us to “come unto Christ,” to keep His commandments and follow His example back to the Father is surely the highest and holiest purpose of human existence. To help others do that as well—to teach, persuade, and prayerfully lead them to walk that path of redemption also—surely that must be the second most significant task in our lives.”

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

Topics: Becoming like God, Commandments, Purpose
