Welcome

Covenants and Our Relationship with God

D. Todd Christofferson

Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Dear brothers and sisters, as you know, the ancient apostles wrote letters—epistles—to the Saints across the world in their day. Using a different technology, this is our epistle to you today. So I would like to use the salutation that Paul used in his epistles: “Beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Our messages today center on the covenants of salvation and exaltation. Like you, we’ve taken note of the strong prophetic emphasis on receiving and honoring gospel covenants, an emphasis that is both repeated and urgent.

The members of the Area Presidency will speak about the specific ordinances and covenants of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I hope you’ll make notes as they speak that you can use at home and in church classes and talks. I have a few introductory remarks about covenants in general—first, the relationship with God and Christ that comes through covenants, and second, the power we receive through divine covenants.
