The Endowment Room
The Endowment Room in the temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a special space where patrons receive inspired instruction about eternal.
At one time or another, most people have wondered about the purpose of life. Who are we? Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where will we go after this life is over? In temples, Church members learn more about the answers to these questions and God's loving plan for the happiness of His children.
One of the sacred ceremonies performed in temples is the Endowment ordinance. During this ordinance, participants are reminded that our life on earth is part of an eternal journey -- a journey that began before we were born, when we lived with our loving Father in Heaven as His spirit children. We came here to receive a body, gain experience, and learn to follow God's plan for our happiness. The role of Jesus Christ as the Redeemer of all God's children is central to the Endowment ordinance.
Participants also make sacred promises with the Lord, called covenants. These covenants include obeying God, following Jesus Christ, being morally pure, and dedicating their time and talents to the Lord's service. These commitments become guiding principles in their everyday lives. Honoring these sacred covenants brings greater peace, joy and blessings in this life as they strive to return to live with God forever.
