SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Doctrine & Covenants 128:15
"And now, my dearly beloved brethren and sisters, let me assure you that these are principles in relation to the dead and the living that cannot be lightly passed over, as pertaining to our salvation. For their salvation is necessary and essential to our salvation, as Paul says concerning the fathers---that they without us cannot be made perfect---neither can we without our dead be made perfect."
|
QUOTE OF THE DAY David O. McKay
"Our temples erected for the salvation and exaltation of the human family contribute to the carrying out of the eternal plan of salvation. The same laws of eternal progress are applicable to all of our Father's children whether living in a mortal or a spiritual existence. Such a universal requirement reflects divine justice" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: David O. McKay, p. 131). |
