The Temple of Christ of Latter-day Saints
Sunday, February 7th, 2010A repeated goal of the Mormon Church is to “perfect the saints.” Mormons understand the Biblical term “saint” to mean an affiliate of Christ's Church, with today's members having the designation “latter-day saints,” or members of Christ's Church living in these, the last days of the planet. So, “perfecting the saints” is an effort to help members of the Mormon Church be as good as they can be. To this end, members are taught and encouraged to follow the perfect example set by Jesus Christ.
Mormon temples help in this mission. They are a calm refuge, and they offer sacred ordinances.
Mormon temples are devoted as places set apart from the world, so making an atmosphere wherein the Almighty Spirit can have a more robust effect on the human mind and heart. Members of the Mormon Church who maintain certain standards of conduct and have strong religion in Jesus Christ are permitted to enter churches. These modern temples are like traditional temples, where only those that went thru a method of purification got access to the church's inner courts. As in days gone by, modern saints who have demonstrated true cleanness, by obedience to divine standards and commandments, may be able to enter a temple and receive the blessings available there. This concept was expressed quite obviously by James Faust, an affiliate of the Mormon Church's First executive :
The days of our lives will be greatly sanctified as we frequent the temples to learn the going beyond non secular relations we've got with Deity. We want to try harder to be found standing in holy places.
To those that are worthy and ready, the temple is a “holy place” where the Spirit of the Lord can unreservedly dwell. In this way Mormon churches be a sanctuary to people who attend them, providing a place that is holy and has been set aside as a house of the Lord. They're places for prayer, meditation, and revelation.
