Celestial Marriage Required to make one's Calling and Election Sure Bruce R. McConkie

Making
one's calling and election sure comes after and grows out of celestial
marriage. Eternal life does not and cannot exist for a man or a woman
alone, because in its very nature it consists of the continuation of
the family unit in eternity. Thus the revelation on marriage speaks
both of celestial marriage (in which the conditional promises of eternal
life are given) and of making one's calling and election sure (in which
the unconditional promise of eternal life are given) in one and the
same sentence. (Bruce R. McConkie, DNTC 3:343) |
