“Making and keeping covenants means choosing to bind
ourselves to our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ. It is committing to follow
the Savior. It is trusting Him and desiring to show our gratitude for the price
He paid to set us free through the infinite gift of the Atonement. A covenant
is a binding spiritual contract, a solemn promise to God our Father that we
will live and think and act in a certain way—the way of His Son, the Lord Jesus
Christ. In return, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost promise us the full splendor
of eternal life. In that binding contract, the Lord sets the terms and we agree
to keep them. Making and keeping our covenants is an expression of our commitment
to become like the Savior.” – Linda K. Burton
