Temples and Family History!

The Savior loves all of his children and desires there salvation and for all of us to live with him once again with our Heavenly Father. Yet so many of God’s children have died without the opportunity to hear his Gospel or to receive saving ordinances, though   the mercy and grace of Christ we are able to receive salvation. This is why the gospel is preached to those in the spirit world for them to accept or reject his gospel. 1^st Peter 4: 6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. Members of the church preform these saving ordinances in their behalf   but all of them have their agency to reject it or to accept it!

                These saving ordinances are performed in the Temple. In the Temple members of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints make and keep these sacred covenants and are endowed with, or are given a Gift of Power and knowledge from on high. Here families are married for time and all eternity thus making it possible to live together in the presents of God.   Doctrine and Convents  95: 8 Yea, verily I say unto you, I gave unto you a commandment that you should build a house, in the which house I design to endow those whom I have chosen with power from on high;

                For this reason church members search for information for their ancestors, they complete pedigree charts so that they may go to the temple and preform saving ordinances on their behalf. They have their chose to accept it or reject these ordinances which is started with baptisms 1 Cor. 15:29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Why are they then baptized for the dead?

                I love the Temple and the sacred work that is preformed there  I love to fill so close to God and fill the power of the holy ghost as we can learn for our self as we are seeking for answers. I know that the temple brings peace to people and that we can have joy in our life as we go there. There is a song that I love that I learned in primary.

1. I love to see the temple.

I’m going there someday

To feel the Holy Spirit,

To listen and to pray.

For the temple is a house of God,

A place of love and beauty.

I’ll prepare myself while I am young;

This is my sacred duty.

2. I love to see the temple.

I’ll go inside someday.

I’ll cov’nant with my Father;

I’ll promise to obey.

For the temple is a holy place

Where we are sealed together.

As a child of God, I’ve learned this truth:

A fam’ly is forever.
