Key snippet: 

For example, we can share that “an endowment is literally a ‘gift.’” The temple endowment is a gift of sacred blessings from God to each of us, and some of those blessings include:

1. “Greater knowledge of the Lord’s purposes and teachings.

2. “Power to do all that God wants us to do.

3. “Divine guidance and protection as we serve the Lord, our families, and others.

4. “Increased hope, comfort, and peace.

5. “Promised blessings now and forever.”

We can also talk about the covenants we make in the temple. The beautiful thing about the temple is that it allows us to draw closer to God and strengthen our relationship with Him by making additional promises with Him. These covenants are:

• “Law of Obedience, which includes striving to keep God’s commandments.
• “Law of Sacrifice, which means doing all we can to support the Lord’s work and repenting with a broken heart and contrite spirit.
• “Law of the Gospel, which is the higher law that He taught while He was on the earth.
• “Law of Chastity, which means that we have sexual relations only with the person to whom we are legally and lawfully wedded according to God’s law.
• “Law of Consecration, which means dedicating our time, talents, and everything with which the Lord has blessed us to building up Jesus Christ’s Church on the earth.”
