Stronger and Closer Connection to God Through Multiple Covenants | Dale G. Renlund | March 2024 

WOW!! This was the most clear and ordered explanation of covenants I’ve ever heard! Everyone should study this talk!!

Life’s difficult enough even when you have made and keep your covenants. I don’t what to think where I’d be if it wasn’t for Heavenly Father’s guidance.

“And we are bound to Him by loving ties.”

This was an amazing analysis. Ties everything together and is so clear. Removes any mystery from the temple. We can’t take notes in the temple and I feel like this is a wonderful TLDR of what happens in the temple

REALLY REALLY enjoyed this. I learned and felt so much. Thank you Elder Renlund! ❤

Using this talk in temple preparation discussions. Excellent

There are so many things to learn, remember, and put into action from this talk. Thank you for sharing it. It goes so well with my book of Mormon study.

Thank you, Elder Renlund.

Love this! Thank you Elder Renlund.

Thank you!Elder Renlandf for sharing thesei jewel sof knowledge... along with comparing these truths so deeply spiritual and important to our own human bodies and how it all works together!! I will treasure this knowledge FOREVER and INTEND to SHARE it with many other people I know and love!😂

Thank you President Renlund

Covenants keep us in the straight and narrow path to return back to our Heavenly Home. Additionally, they provide spiritual and temporal protection in this mortal world.

It a blessing to listen and watch this wonderful talk. Spiritual check and balances indeed.❤

Elder Renlund, obrigado.

Preparing myself to enter into the 3rd order of covenant with God. I’m grateful for the blessings of the Temple and our leaders.

I have used a similar covenant-binding analogy years ago as a missionary, however I had a stick which represent us which could be easily broken. Then I had a metal rod which represented God. The binding was with rope. I had the people first break the stick, but as we make multiple covenants, (multiple rope tying) and then have them try to break the stick once it’s bound to the rod (which of course they couldn’t). My point was without the covenants we can be easily broken by Satan, but once we are bound with the Lord, we can stand strong throughout his tempests and whirlwinds.

Thank you Elder Renlund.

Excellent explanation, I just wish the analogy hadn't paralleled a victim situation. When we bind ourselves to God it is *not* a victim situation, but an empowering, non-claustrophobic, agency-respecting, supportive, enabling situation that I long to keep as part of my life.

I feel closer to my Heavenly Father every time I listen to his servents!

Love this Man

Thank you this is exactly what I needed right now. I know God still sends prophets today. God bless

I've listened to this beautiful talk at least 3x already. It's so good and brings comfort and peace to my heart.

Thanks for posting! What a great talk. When I try to search and study about covenants, I’ve found that Elser Renlund, perhaps more than any other current apostle, has taught most clearly and consistently the nature of covenants. Praise to God for living prophets!

Does anyone have a link to the slides used? I would love a copy of them with the talk. I hope they add them somewhere.

Amen.

Absolutely awesome talk shared this talk with investigators and my active and my inactive friends.

In 3 Nephi 11 the Lord states: “31 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, I will declare unto you my doctrine. 32 And this is my doctrine, and it is the doctrine which the Father hath given unto me; and I bear record of the Father, and the Father beareth record of me, and the Holy Ghost beareth record of the Father and me; and I bear record that the Father commandeth all men, everywhere, to repent and believe in me. 33 And whoso believeth in me, and is baptized, the same shall be saved; and they are they who shall inherit the kingdom of God. 34 And whoso believeth not in me, and is not baptized, shall be damned. 35 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that this is my doctrine, and I bear record of it from the Father; and whoso believeth in me believeth in the Father also; and unto him will the Father bear record of me, for he will visit him with fire and with the Holy Ghost. 36 And thus will the Father bear record of me, and the Holy Ghost will bear record unto him of the Father and me; for the Father, and I, and the Holy Ghost are one. 37 And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and become as a little child, and be baptized in my name, or ye can in nowise receive these things. 38 And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and be baptized in my name, and become as a little child, or ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God. 39 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that this is my doctrine, and whoso buildeth upon this buildeth upon my rock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against them. 40 And whoso shall declare more or less than this, and establish it for my doctrine, the same cometh of evil, and is not built upon my rock; but he buildeth upon a sandy foundation, and the gates of hell stand open to receive such when the floods come and the winds beat upon them. 41 Therefore, go forth unto this people, and declare the words which I have spoken, unto the ends of the earth.”
