“Remember My Covenants”
The Lord covenantal with Abraham concerning his righteous seed; that covenant included the promise that Abraham’s descendants would be the stewards of the gospel of salvation among all nations of the earth. To Abraham and his seed went the promise that they would hold the priesthood and be the ministers of salvation among all men. Further, Abraham and Sarah were promised that their union would be eternal and their posterity endless. (See Abraham 2:9-11.) In the complete and perfect sense this promise is remembered by the seed of Abraham when as man and woman they kneel at an altar in the house of the Lord and receive the very promises made by the Lord anciently to Abraham and Sarah as father and mother of the faithful (see D&C 132:30-32).
