A principal purpose of the temple is to elevate our vision from the things of the world to the blessings of eternity. Removed for a short time from the worldly settings with which we are familiar, we can “look to God and live” by receiving and remembering the great and precious promises whereby we become partakers of the divine nature. – David A. Bednar, “Exceeding Great and Precious Promises,” Ensign (CR) November 2017
