C. Celestial marriage is essential to exaltation.
- I n order to obtain the highest degree in the celestial kingdom, a man and a woman must enter into the new and everlasting covenant of marriage (see D&C 131:2–3).
- A marriage must be sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise before the husband and the wife can obtain exaltation (see D&C 132:19).
- T hose who are married by the power of God and achieve exaltation will have eternal increase (see D&C 132:19; 131:2–4).

C. Faith in Jesus Christ always produces good fruits.
■ “Because faith is wanting, the fruits are. No
man since the world was had faith without having
something along with it. The ancients quenched
the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword,
women received their dead, etc. By faith the
worlds were made. A man who has none of the
gifts has no faith; and he deceives himself, if he
supposes he has. Faith has been wanting, not only
among the heathen, but in professed Christendom
also, so that tongues, healings, prophecy, and
prophets and apostles, and all the gifts and blessings
have been wanting” (Smith, Teachings, 270).
“Paul says, ‘To one is given the gift of tongues,
to another the gift of prophecy, and to another the
gift of healing;’ and again: ‘Do all prophesy? do all
speak with tongues? do all interpret?’ evidently
showing that all did not possess these several
gifts; but that one received one gift, and another
received another gift—all did not prophesy, all
did not speak in tongues, all did not work miracles;
but all did receive the gift of the Holy Ghost;
sometimes they spake in tongues and prophesied
in the Apostles’ days, and sometimes they did not.
The same is the case with us also in our administrations,
while more frequently there is no manifestation
at all, that is visible to the surrounding
multitude” (Smith, Teachings, 243–44).

The real life we’re preparing for is eternal life. Secular knowledge has for us eternal significance. Our conviction is that God, our Heavenly Father, wants us to live the life that He does. We learn both the spiritual things and the secular things “so we may one day create worlds [and] people and govern them” (Henry B. Eyring, quoting Spencer W. Kimball, Ensign, October 2002.)
- Magic Underwear - Only at Temple
" Temple garments afford protection. I am sure one could go to [the] extreme in worshiping the cloth of which the garment is made, but one could also go to the other extreme. Though generally I think our protection is a mental, spiritual, moral one, yet I am convinced that there could be, and undoubtedly have been, many cases where there has been, through faith, an actual physical protection. So we must not minimize that possibility." President Kimball
