Temples
Temples are houses of the Lord, the most sacred structures on the earth.Anciently, the Lord directed Solomon to build a temple (1 Chronicles 28:1). After Jesus Christ restored His Church through Joseph Smith, He again directed that temples be built.
In the temples, Church members participate in ordinances designed to unite their families together forever and help them return to God. In the temples, members - Learn eternal truths
- Receive sacred ordinances, including those that bind husband and wife together for eternity, as well as join children and parents (Malachi 4:5)
- Provide ordinances such as baptism for those who have died without the opportunity to receive the gospel (1 Peter 4:6; 1 Corinthians 15:29)
