Relief Society Lesson -- Covenants

Here's a list of my overheads from my lesson today.

Covenants



Russell M. Nelson

Of the Quorum of the 12 apostles



October 2011 General Conference

One of the most important concepts of revealed religion is that of a sacred covenant.

A covenant is a sacred promise with God.

Abrahamic Covenant

Jesus the Christ would be born through Abraham’s lineage.

Abraham’s posterity would be numerous, entitled to an eternal increase, and also entitled to bear the priesthood.

Abraham would become a father of many nations.

Certain lands would be inherited by his posterity.

All nations of the earth would be blessed by his seed.

And that covenant would be everlasting-even through “a thousand generations.”

Children of the covenant have the right to receive His doctrine and to know the plan of salvation.

They claim it by making covenants of sacred significance.

They keep the covenant by obedience to His commandments.

The greatest compliment that can be earned here in this life is to be known as a covenant keeper.
