Blessings for our ancestors
Many people have died without receiving baptism and other ordinances that Jesus Christ taught were necessary to enter the kingdom of God (John 3:5). Because Heavenly Father wants all His children to have the opportunity to return to Him, He has provided a way for those who have died without these ordinances to receive them.
In holy temples, members of the Church can perform these ordinances on behalf of their ancestors who have died.
This makes it possible for those who have not received these ordinances to accept them, if they choose, and return to live one day with our Heavenly Father.
