“The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is
constructing temples all over the world. Their purpose is to bless the covenant
children of God with temple worship and with the sacred responsibilities and
powers and unique blessings of being bound to Christ they receive by covenant. The
Church of Jesus Christ is known as a church that emphasizes making covenants
with God. Covenants are inherent in each of the ordinances of salvation and
exaltation this restored Church administers. The ordinance of baptism and its
associated covenants are requirements for entrance into the celestial kingdom.
The ordinances and associated covenants of the temple are requirements for
exaltation in the celestial kingdom, which is eternal life, the greatest of all
the gifts of God. That is the focus of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints.” – President Dallin H. Oaks
