“Essential ordinances of the gospel symbolize the Atonement. Baptism by immersion is symbolic of the death, burial, and Resurrection of the Redeemer. Partaking of the sacrament
renews baptismal covenants and also renews our memory of the Savior’s
broken flesh and of the blood He shed for us. Ordinances of the temple
symbolize our reconciliation with the Lord and seal families together
forever. Obedience to the sacred covenants made in temples qualifies us
for eternal life”
(Russell M. Nelson “The Atonement,” Ensign, Nov. 1996, 35)
