Like the Old
Testament, the Book of Mormon records Hebraic treaty-covenants, but
its overarching covenant is that of God with his people. In America,
this covenant was under constant threat. As John the Baptist reminded
Judah, a nation’s covenant with God could continue only so long as its
individuals kept a true relationship with God. One of the reasons the
Book of Mormon brings us nearer to God than any other book is because
no other book more specifically ties the Christian ordinances of
baptism and the sacrament to the covenant concept. No book does more
to bring the national covenant down to a matter of individual
responsibility. – Richard Lloyd Anderson, “The
Restoration of the Sacrament (Part 2: A New and Ancient Covenant),”
Ensign February 1992
