The temple is the house of the Lord. In temples, God's children draw nearer to Him and His Son Jesus Christ by making sacred promises with Him. Temples are the only places on earth where families can be united eternally. Those who worship in the house of the Lord receive peace, inspiration, joy, and spiritual power.
The temple is used for participating in sacred ordinances such as proxy baptisms, endowment ceremonies, and sealings, each of which are fundamental to the Christ’s doctrine of eternal families and personal salvation.
