A covenant made with God should be regarded not as restrictive but as protective.

In legal language, a covenant generally denotes an agreement between two or more parties. But in a religious context, a covenant is much more significant. It is a sacred promise with God. He fixes the terms.

One of the most important concepts of revealed religion is that of a sacred covenant.

We need women who are devoted to shepherding God's children along the covenant path toward exaltation; women who know how to receive personal revelation, who understand the power and peace of the temple endowment; women who know how to call upon the powers of heaven to protect and strengthen children and families; women who teach fearlessly.

We were born to die and we die to live. As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth; we fully flower in heaven.

Many religious confessions share common values. They teach that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us.
