President Eyring
The greatest
of all the blessings of God, eternal life, will come to us only as we make
covenants offered in the true Church of Jesus Christ by His authorized
servants. Because of the Fall, we all need the cleansing effects of baptism and the laying on of hands to receive
the gift of the Holy Ghost….
Then, with the help of the Light of Christ and the Holy Ghost, we can keep all
the covenants we make with God, especially those offered in His temples. Only
in that way, and with that help, can anyone claim his or her rightful
inheritance as a child of God in a family forever. (A Priceless Heritage of Hope. General
Conference April 2014).
