“Love increases through righteous restraint and decreases through impulsive indulgence.”
President Boyd K Packer, Counsel to Youth, October 2011 General Conference
“The family is the center of that plan. The family depends on the worthy use of those life-giving powers that are in your body.”
“The family is the center of that plan. The family depends on the worthy use of those life-giving powers that are in your body.”
The power to create mortal life is the most exalted power God has given His children. The use of this creative power was mandated in the first commandment to “be fruitful, and multiply” (Genesis 1:28). Another important commandment forbade its misuse: “Thou shalt not commit adultery” (Exodus 20:14), and “ye should abstain from fornication” (1 Thessalonians 4:3). The emphasis we place on this law of chastity is explained by our understanding of the purpose of our procreative powers in the accomplishment of God’s plan.
