Kindle Notes & Highlights
We are temples. The temple is a symbol of us; we are not a symbol of the temple. We are meant to be holy and to house a god – as we are meant to become as He is. Currently we are fallen and dead. For the dead, temple work is required. The temple building shows us the work which is required to be done within us.
Keeping the commandments are a necessary part of the journey – but to an extent they do little other than to lead us to the spirit which justifies.
To be justified means to be free of blame and guilt. It is to be acquitted from sin and accepted.
This process of justification leads to receiving the Holy Ghost; a constant companion.
The word “clothed” here in the Greek language, is “enduo”, which is the root for our English word “endow”. The initiatory is an initiation into the process of being clothed or endowed, and the process of being endowed is to be clothed in the robes of the holy priesthood.
