In a new video from the Church, “The True Power of Temple Work, “Elder Dale G. Renlund shares a powerful message about the impact of the temple on our lives, even during the temporary closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Although our access to the temple right now is limited, it doesn’t change the impact that the temple can have on us in our lives. Through our covenants and ordinances, we have access to the power of Godliness in our lives—no matter our circumstances. That power of Godliness comes because we’ve entered into a covenant that’s been part of an ordinance. And as we keep that covenant, the power of Godliness can be in our lives.”

“Until our temples fully reopen, I pray that we can keep our covenants, and by doing so, access the power of Godliness in our everyday lives. When the day comes for us to attend the temple again, our hearts and our spirits will be hungry for the experiences of the temple. That desire, that hunger, will result in a powerful temple experience.”
