They Cannot Be Lost: Temple Covenants Save Families

I am going to start by telling a personal experience. I got the amazing opportunity to go through the temple about 3 weeks ago and how amazing it is there. I had always hear how the temple is amazing and I could not wait until that special day when I got to go inside. I was so happy and the feeling that I got as I walked through those doors was overwhelming happiness and excitement. I was walking into God's house to marry my best friend. What more could I ask for? I know that being worth to enter in to the temple is very important and I am so happy that i was because what a special and comforting place it is. 

 I know that without the gospel I would be lost and into some things that would cause great sadness in my life. I know that now as I am starting my own life and have my own house I want my house to be a house of prayer and a faithful house that when a member of my family or I am having a bad day my house can be a house of refuge and a place where we can feel safe. I want my house to have the spirit and I know that if we continue to pray and do what we are supposed to we will establish a house like that.

President Boyd K. Packer says: "It is a great challenge to raise a family in the darkening mists of our moral environment." I know that there are great challenges that await my future children, but I know that if they cleave to the gospel their challenges will be easier to deal with.

We that have been through the temple know that we make special ordinances and if those are broken we need and have to repent to return to live with our heavenly father. I learned so much as I went through the temple and I know that those things that happen in the temple are very sacred and they are very dear to my heart.

Boyd K. Packer emphasized the binding power of the sealing ordinance in a 2008 Worldwide Leadership Training Meeting: Now sometimes there are those that are lost. We have the promise of the prophets that they are not lost permanently, that if they are sealing in the temple ordinances and if the covenants are kept by the parents, in due time, after all the correction that's necessary to be given, that they will not be lost.
