In the temple, we learn who we are and where we have been. The Roman philosopher Cicero said, “To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child.”³⁶ He was, of course, referring to secular history, but his astute observation can be expanded. We live as perpetual children if we are ignorant of the eternal perspective gained in temples. There we grow up in the Lord, “receive a fulness of the Holy Ghost,”³⁷ and become more fully committed as disciples of the Savior.³⁸ As we keep our covenants, we receive God’s power in our lives.³⁹ – Dale G. Renlund, “Your Divine Nature and Eternal Destiny,” Ensign (CR) May 2022
