They Shall Preserve Their Children

He shall redeem his people. 
They shall preserve their children.

There is justice, there are rules,
There are consequences.

The Gods are gardeners, not engineers. 

They are parents, not monarchs.

They have sufficient power to restore their children.

Universal Salvation comes from Orthodox Belief,
personal submission to Eternal Laws,
and demonstrated willingness to follow the Gods.

I strive to forgive others their trespasses,
as they forgive mine. 

I take the Baptismal Covenant,
renewed weekly in the Sacramental Service. 

I make Temple Covenants that bind me
to my Spouse, Parents, and Children.

I then share these Covenants with my ancestors.

Theirs is the choice to accept or reject.

This is Universal and Eternal Salvation,
through Christ's Blood and Atonement with the Gods. 

Because of the work in the Garden of Gethsemane,
I am not required to perform a temple endowment and sealing,
for all of my ancestors, I just need to try.
