Mormon Musings

"Through the ages, God has made covenants with His children. His covenants occur throughout the entire plan of salvation and are therefore part of the fulness of His gospel. For example, God promised to send a Savior for His children, asking in turn for their obedience to His law." —Russell M. Nelson, " Covenants "

During the Lord's postmortal ministry, the higher ordinances of exaltation were revealed. He has provided for these ordinances in His holy temples. . . . Our Master is a God of law and order. His focus on ordinances is a powerful part of His example to us." —Russell M. Nelson, " The Mission and Ministry of Jesus Christ "

“Obedience allows God’s blessings to flow without constraint.” Elder Russell M. Nelson -”Face the Future with Faith,”  Ensign,  May 2011, 34
