Purpose

Why do members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints build temples?

These pages explain this idea.  As with everything in the Church, the answer focuses on the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ.

  • Atonement of Christ
  • Baptism for the dead in the Bible
  • Eternal families
  • Ordinances are essential
  • What of the dead?
