Priesthood


The priesthood is the eternal power and authority of God. Through the priesthood God created and governs the heavens and the earth. Through this power He redeems and exalts His children, bringing to pass "the immortality and eternal life of man" (Moses 1:39). God gives priesthood authority to worthy male members of the Church so they can act in His name for the salvation of His children. Priesthood holders can be authorized to preach the gospel, administer the ordinances of salvation, and govern the kingdom of God on the earth.

"That the arights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that thepowers of heaven cannot be bcontrolled nor handled only upon the cprinciples of righteousness."
(D&C 121:36)
