“The primary purpose of the temple is to provide the ordinances necessary for our exaltation in the celestial kingdom. Temple ordinances guide us to our Savior and give us the blessings that come to us through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Temples are the greatest university of learning known to man, giving us knowledge and wisdom about the Creation of the world. Endowment instructions give guidance as to how we should conduct our lives here in mortality. The meaning of the word endowment is ‘gift.’ The ordinance consists of a series of instructions on how we should live and covenants we make to live righteously by following our Savior.”
Robert D. Hales, October 2009 Ensign
