The Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints is probably most recognized by its beautiful temples worldwide. With currently 138 temples operatings worldwide and dozens more in construction and announced, these Fascinating building are very sacred to us and where we turn to to get away from the “worldly” things and focus on our eternal progression as sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father and uniting our families for eternity. So let me explain further why temples are important and why members are willing to sacrifice so much to go to a temple.
From http://temples.lds.org we learn that “From the days of the Old Testament, the Lord has commanded His people to build temples-sacred structures where He could teach, guide, and bless them. When Jesus was On the earth the only temple was the temple of Herod, which he was found there often
After the rejection and deaths of Jesus’s Apostles, there were no temples on the earth for many centuries. When the gospel of Jesus Christ was restored in the early 1800s, the Lord again commanded His people to build temples (see D&C 88:119; see also section 95).
In the temple we are taught, we make covenants and we are promised blessings. We receive ordinances that allow us to live in the presence of God. Families can be sealed here for all time and eternity in marriage.
Temples are the holiest place on earth where we can go to find comfort, peace, blessings and receive eternal blessing and ordinances that will only bring us closer to our Father in heaven.
I testify that I know this church is true and that the blessings of the temple are real and can change your life forever and ANYONE can receive the blessings of the temple and I invite all who are interested as well.
