pam Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 In a religious context a covenant is significant. It is a sacred promise with God. He fixes the terms, each person can choose to accept the terms. If they follow the terms the individual receives the blessings promised.Covenants have occurred throughout the entire plan of salvation.We have received the Holy Priesthood and the everlasting gospel.The church provides patriarchal blessings to give insight into the future and to give a lineage.Those that receive the Father receive all that He has.Ours is the responsibility to help fulfill the Abrahamic covenant.Priesthood duty includes missionary work.The Book of Mormon is a sign that the Lord is gathering his covenant children of Israel.Children of the covenant have the right to receive His doctrine and to know the plan of salvation.All Latter Day Saints enter the new and everlasting covenant when they are baptized.We renew this covenant when we partake of the Sacrament.Celestial marriage is the covenant of exaltation.
