As we study the scriptures, we learn that the doctrine of the temple requires the following of the Latter-day Saints:

First, the building of temples.

Second, going to the temple for our blessings.

Third, returning to perform the ordinances for deceased relatives.

Fourth, doing the work for others as well.

Fifth, frequent attendance for personal spiritual benefit. – W. Grant Bangerter, “What Temples Are For,” Ensign (CR) May 1982
