President Dallin H. Oaks: 'Covenants and Responsibilities'

President Dallin H

Oaks:
'Covenants and Responsibilities'

'The Church of Jesus Christ is known as a church that emphasizes making covenants with God'

7 April 2024, 11:57 AM MDT
President Dallin H.

Oaks, first counselor in the First Presidency, speaks during the Sunday morning session of the 194th Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on April 7, 2024.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
A covenant is a commitment to fulfill certain responsibilities. Personal commitments are essential to the regulation of individual lives and to the functioning of society.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has always emphasized a commitment to making and keeping covenants with God.

Covenants were foundational in the Restoration of the gospel. A fundamental history of God's covenant promises are found in the Old Testament and the Book of Mormon.

The central role of covenants was reaffirmed in the preface the Lord gave for the first publication of His revelations.

The early pioneers received spiritual strength and power by making covenants in the Nauvoo Temple before beginning their historic trek to the Rocky Mountains.

Today, Latter-day Saints understand the role of covenants in the restored Church.

The Church's growth and its purpose in building temples worldwide is to bless the children of God through temple worship and unique blessings associated with being bound to the Savior through covenants.

Those who have been endowed in a holy temple are responsible to wear a temple garment beneath outer clothing, which reminds them of sacred covenants and promised blessings.

President Dallin H. Oaks , first counselor in the First Presidency, spoke during the Sunday morning session of April 2024 general conference.
