Why Is It Important to Wear the Temple Garment? // Elder Martinez & Sister Eubank

The garment of the holy priesthood reminds us of the veil in the temple, and that veil is symbolic of Jesus Christ. When you put on your garment, you put on a sacred symbol of Jesus Christ. Wearing it is an outward expression of your inner commitment to follow Him.
Jesus Christ taught this principle in The Parable of The Royal Marriage Feast:
“And Jesus … spake unto them again by parables, and said,
“The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son…”
The custom in those days was for the host of a wedding feast-in this parable, the king-to provide garments for the wedding guests. Such wedding garments were simple, nondescript robes that all attendees wore. In this way, rank and station were eliminated, and everyone at the feast could mingle as equals…
Everyone was given the opportunity to clothe themselves in garments of royalty.
As the king entered the wedding hall, he surveyed the audience and immediately noticed that one conspicuous guest was not wearing a wedding garment. The man was brought forward, and the king asked, “Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.”
A Christian author, John O. Reid, noted that the man’s refusal to wear the wedding garment exemplified blatant “disrespect for both the king and his son.” He did not simply lack a wedding garment; rather, he chose not to wear one. He rebelliously refused to dress appropriately for the occasion. The king’s reaction was swift and decisive: “Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
The king’s judgment of the man is not based primarily upon the lack of a wedding garment-but that “he was, in fact, determined not to wear one. The man … desired the honor of attending the wedding feast, but … did not want to follow the custom of the king. He wanted to do things his own way. His lack of proper dress revealed his inner rebellion against the king and his instructions.”

I've been thinking about how through the sacrament Christ feeds us food for our hunger, water for our thirst, followed by an initiatory in the temple where he clothes our nakedness and the verses in Matthew came to mind, "For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me"

@patriciamcintyre840 4 месяца назад

In deed our Heavenly Father knows all of our needs. He fullfills his roll of provider by feeding and clothing us. Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

I've been wearing garments for over 50 years. They have been a reminder of who I am following, a protection from danger, both physical and unseen. They bond me to my husband who passed 15 years ago, a promise to me that my family will continue throughout eternity, and a comfort knowing I can return to the presence of my loving Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ if I remain worthy to wear them. They have never been a burden but a but, blessing that helps to keep me from the temptations of this world.

@davidfrey5654 4 месяца назад

I love the sign and symbol of our garments. I also love that we don't have to wear those one pieces. LOL But seriously, I'm an ordinance worker and I love helping patron symbolically put on upon themselves the holy garment, which is a reminder of taking upon ourselves the name of Jesus Christ and being his disciple and a reminder of our covenants we've made with him. Our Heavenly Father does every single thing he can to help remind us of who we are.

I've worn garments for 20 years, now. I NEVER heard that they're a "symbol of the veil" until this video. It's extremely obvious now - like I feel kind of dumb - I just don't know why I was never taught that. OR... why I WAS and it didn't hit me until now. Glad I watched. New perspective and something I will be pondering for a few days.

I have switched to garments made of 100% cotton. They are cozy in winter and 'breathe' in summer. I love mine. I feel as though I'm taking upon myself the name of Christ as we are counseled to do. To not wear them is to put off the name of Christ. I want the same blessings Adarm and Eve were promised when they received and wore the coats of skin prepared by Christ at the first sacrifice in the Garden of Eden.

I just love this. When the Lord spoke to his people in the past He said He wanted them to be a Nation of Priests. This is Zion. What may be hard for other religions to accept is that The Church of Jesus Christ does not have a "priest" or leader other than the few men he called from a random cohort of a nation of priests. They can see why the reverend, the father, the nun, the levite had to wear priestly clothes but they cannot accept why a regular member would wear priestly clothes. But the Lord clearly stated that in His kingdom there are only priests so.... I will gladly be the levite and enjoy the trust that is being renewed in me every time I repent, take up my cross and follow Him!.

@brandeeburt6366 22 дня назад

Ilove my garments so, so much. I have had some very beautiful insights and direction from the Lord about my garments. He has admonished me to wear them at all times I can, even while I'm swimming. I can wear them while I'm swimming, I have swim shorts and swim shirts that completely cover them. He also instructed me not to partake in any public activity that would force me to take them off, such as specific sports. As I listened and obeyed the blessings have poured out abundantly in all aspects of my life.

@thekolobsociety 4 месяца назад

We should look for reasons to wear our garments rather than look for reasons to take it off. Someone who understands the promises related to wearing the garment will always look for reasons to wear it when possible.

@myeyepie 4 месяца назад

Question, with the availability of nylon garments that shed water like a duck, as well as swim shirts and knee length swim shorts, WHY exactly do we need to remove the garment for swimming? Having had three very strange close calls in water where it made no sense to drown, I can say that once I got my garments and kept them on, that never happened again. The term "throughout" is key in when we should wear our garment. Throughout means "in every part", "through and through", "from end to end" or "entirely". Wear your garment only when you don't need protection from Satan. Or when you don’t need the Savior.

@@Hala-ataa Jesus also spent 40 days with his apostles and other parts of the bible elude to more content that was there prior that is now gone that early christians knew, practiced, and had access to. That part of the bible is missing as well where jesus gave further instruction and help for their mission further on in their life without him. Temple covenants aren't written down word for word either. Many sacred things are kept private because the reader would mock that which was too sacred to write down. Doesn't make it any less sacred or not needed in your life. Where did the masons and egyptians get their temple practices from....... Think really hard......

@Hala-ataa 3 месяца назад

@@ShiningSakura I don’t think you have ever even read the scriptures if you use the “too sacred to share” line. 1. The scriptures contain so many things twice as bizarre as a temple ritual. You think God would allow a talking donkey and a prophet marrying a prostitute to be written, but not a handshake or a throat-slitting gesture? 2. The scriptures contain hundreds of things more sacred than the temple. You think God allowed a detailed record of His Son bleeding, crushed by the sins of the world, stripped naked, tortured, and murdered - but somehow it’s “too sacred” to write down a ceremony about funny robes and handshakes? The rituals in the Books of Moses alone are more detailed than the temple we have. Why was it not too sacred to write those down but only for ours? The Lord was actually present in the tabernacles back then- He literally killed the high priest if there was an impurity. I hope you’re not insinuating that Egyptians and Solomon’s masons received temple rituals from God. That would be quite an uneducated claim.

Nah. Sign seeking is still a bad idea no matter how we dress it up. The signs follow after the trial of our faith. Many of us have seen the protection and have no problem acknowledging it.

@RandyMills-o7w 7 дней назад

Our relationship with the Savior Jesus Christ is not a transactional set of benefits sought. It is an acknowledgment of our dependence on Him and a lifetime commitment to repent and become like Him. Therefore, as imperfect humans, we fall short and need to be reminded of our commitment, which is always voluntary and never a forced compliance. Thankfully, Christ is merciful and kind, unlike many of us as humans…

@jake8882 4 месяца назад

Yes, I suppose believing that some action and self sacrifice in life might be required to show my devotion to Christ, does sound crazy. I want an eternity of everything good. How wrong of me to think I’d have to do anything. As far as “paying”, the vast majority of us (informed adults) are very happy to pay our tithing, especially to an organization that isn’t using it to line their personal pockets. I absolutely love the vast worldwide good that the LDS church is able to do because of willing givers.

@No.Coincidences 4 месяца назад

If you understand the condescension of God, then your oversimplified response is lacking depth to the symbolism of taking upon yourself the name of Christ. It’s a deeper commitment that is offered to everyone. If you choose to not wear it that doesn’t mean Christ cannot be with you. If you covenant with God in His temple It means you need added protection. However, God meets everyone where they are in understanding and opportunity and gives us all protection when we seek Him out. When individuals follow Christ, Satan works on them harder to try and get them off that path. Which is the symbolism behind armor of God. If you are at the frontlines you need more armor. If you’re not fighting or are passive, you don’t need armor. Hopefully that makes more sense.
