The Holy Temple

If you haven't seen this video, I highly encourage you to view it.

Temples are sacred places where members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints make sacred covenants to devote their lives to serving God. They are also places where husbands and wives are sealed together not "till death do you part", but for eternity. Children are also sealed to their parents in these holy places. Sacred ordinance work is also performed on behalf of those who previously lived on this earth and never had the opportunity to accept the gospel. This work binds the living and the dead together as an eternal family in Christ for those who accept him. 1 Corinthians 15: 29 is a reference to baptism for the dead that was practiced in ancient times. That sacred belief has been restored to the world and is also performed in temples.

I love the temple. I hope that you enjoy learning about it.
