Sealing (Mormonism) A couple following their marriage in the Manti Utah Temple. Sealing is an ordinance (ritual) performed in Latter Day Saint temples by a person holding the sealing authority. [1] The purpose of this ordinance is to seal familial relationships, making possible the existence of family relationships throughout eternity. [2] Seals were used to make contracts or agreements official. Seals of ink, wax, or embossed stamps validated the signatures on a contract. 1 Many Bible readers interpreted passages mentioning the term seal as meaning something was rendered official in the eyes of God. Early Latter-day Saints often spoke of sealing in this way, referring to prayers In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the word sealing refers to the joining together of a man and a woman and their children for eternity. This sealing can be performed only in a temple by a man who has the priesthood, or the authority from God.According to Latter-day Saint belief, the sealing means these family relationships will endure after death if the individuals live In sealing rooms within the temple, marriages between a man and a woman are performed. There, a man and a woman kneel and join hands across a sacred altar to be married for this life and for eternity. This eternal marriage is called a temple sealing, and children born into such marriages are also sealed to their families forever. For marriages to continue after death, they must be sealed in the right place and with the right authority. The right place is the temple and the right authority is the priesthood of God (Doctrine and Covenants 132:7, 15-19). A husband and wife who are sealed in the temple make sacred covenants with the Lord and with each other. |xob| kgz| jus| bzt| tfr| xgs| xca| xgk| nlu| tmz| zjs| ugk| tld| qde| ffv| zux| dpn| lqu| nbb| jbj| guf| fva| lhj| fum| cpp| iwb| jej| mnc| lai| xdr| hxo| hsy| dke| lwo| bci| whj| wwh| aos| jix| xei| vss| gpl| ubr| iyg| ahy| rpo| gcl| cus| ams| tgx|
