“Temple covenants are gifts from our Heavenly Father to the
faithful followers of His Son, Jesus Christ. Through the temple, our Heavenly
Father binds individuals and families to the Savior and to each other. President
Russell M. Nelson declared last year: ‘Each person who makes covenants in
baptismal fonts and in temples—and keeps them—has increased access to the power
of Jesus Christ. The reward for keeping covenants with God is heavenly
power—power that strengthens us to withstand our trials, temptations, and
heartaches better. This power eases our way.’ Through temple blessings, the
Savior heals individuals, families, and nations—even those that once stood as
bitter enemies. The resurrected Lord declared to a conflict-ridden society in
the Book of Mormon that 'unto those who honor my name, shall the Son of
Righteousness arise with healing in his wings.’” – By Elder J. Kimo Esplin
