“The Blessings of Being Unified” (May 1989 Friend).

Do the spiritual work to find out for yourselves, and please do it now. I plead with you who have distanced yourselves from the Church and with you who have not yet really sought to know that the Savior’s Church has been restored. Ask Him to tell you if He is really there-if He knows you. Pray to have eyes to see God’s hand in your life and in the world around you. If you truly love your family and if you desire to be exalted with them throughout eternity, pay the price now-through serious study and fervent prayer-to know these eternal truths and then to abide by them. What is required for a family to be exalted forever? We qualify for that privilege by making covenants with God, keeping those covenants, and receiving essential ordinances. Salvation is an individual matter, but exaltation is a family matter.Īll covenants, contracts, bonds, obligations, oaths, vows, performances, connections, associations, or expectations, that are not made and entered into and sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise … are of no efficacy, virtue, or force in and after the resurrection from the dead for all contracts that are not made unto this end have an end when men are dead. The Savior said, ‘In my Father’s house are many mansions.’ However, as you choose not to make covenants with God, you are settling for a most meager roof over your head throughout all eternity. Jesus the Christ has offered His mighty arm to help all who choose to followĭespite all kinds of sins from all kinds of people, His arms are outstretched still. He is our Redeemer, our Healer, and our Savior. He understands our Heavenly Father’s plan of eternal progression better than any of us. Jesus Christ teaches the way back to our eternal home. Many are receiving the power of God in their lives as they worship and serve in the temple. I rejoice with children and youth who are helping to teach the gospel in their homes as they work with their parents to follow the home-centered, Church-supported curriculum. Jesus Christ invites us to take the covenant path back home to our Heavenly Parents and be with those we love.
