"Eternal life, made possible by the Atonement, is the
supreme purpose of the Creation. To phrase that statement in its negative form,
if families were not sealed in holy temples, the whole earth would be utterly
wasted." Joseph's role as Prophet of the Restoration was to begin a work
that you and I have been sent to do—that is to "invite all of God's
children on both sides of the veil to come unto their Savior, receive the
blessings of the holy temple, have enduring joy, and qualify for eternal
life."
