Mormon Temples will Dot the Earth

I love Seth Adam Smith for his simplistic, yet beautiful way of showing us truth. This video is so touching, I hope you are able to feel the spirit as you watch and listen to this message.

For the millions of people who lived before the Restoration of Christ’s Church, temple ordinances were not available during their lifetime. Even today, millions live and die without ever hearing the name of Jesus Christ or without accepting the gospel he taught. Provision must be made, then, for those who have died without that opportunity.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (“Mormon Church”) teaches that all saving ordinances are to be performed on earth on behalf of the dead. Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormons, stand as proxies for their own ancestors in these ceremonies, including baptisms and sealings for husbands and wives and for parents and children. All temple work is valid only if it is willingly accepted by each individual prior to the Resurrection. Performing temple ordinances receives strong emphasis in the LDS (Mormon) Church. Members of the Church, Mormons, are taught that they have a religious obligation to trace their own genealogies and perform temple ordinances for their ancestors.
