Today's Favorite Verse: Ephesians 3:14-15

"For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,"

This is speaking of eternal families. The knowledge that we shall live with each other, as fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, and children in the eternities. Sealed together, linking families together through the generations.

"The Lord went into the spirit world, himself, turned the key for the salvation of the dead and our elders when they pass to the next world, go into that world to continue their labors of preaching the gospel, bringing to repentance all who are willing to repent and receive the truth, that they might come into the kingdom of God or as Paul calls it, "the family of God in heaven and on earth"  For it is the family of God. The kingdom of God will be one great family. We call ourselves brothers and sisters. In very deed we become joint heirs with Jesus Christ through the gospel of Jesus Christ, sons and daughters of God, and entitled to the fullness of the blessings of his kingdom if we will repent and keep these commandments."

(Joseph Fielding Smith, "Temple Work" April 1959 General Conference)
