Covenant (Latter Day Saints)
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) encourages its members to make and keep several covenants as a part of the new and everlasting covenant of the gospel. In Latter Day Saint theology, making and keeping covenants is necessary for exaltation.
A covenant is a promise to God whereby He also promises blessings in return. Latter-day Saints believe that making covenants helps in overcoming difficulties in their lives. Latter-day Saint leaders teach that just as the God of Israel asked the children of Israel to be a covenant people, "a peculiar treasure unto me ... a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation,"〔(Exodus 19:5-6 )〕 today God has asked for a latter-day people who will make and keep covenants with Him.
In the LDS Church, there are formal covenants and informal covenants. Formal covenants are limited in number and are always accompanied by the performance of an ordinance. Informal covenants are made without the performance of an ordinance. Typically, formal covenants are made in the presence of other Latter-day Saints, while informal covenants are made privately between a Latter-day Saint and God without the performance of an ordinance. Informal covenants are most commonly referred to simply as commandments.
==Formal covenants==
In the LDS Church, formal covenants include baptism and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost〔(Mosiah 18:8-10, 13 ); (Doctrine and Covenants 20:37 ); (Doctrine and Covenants 39:23 )〕 partaking of the sacrament;〔(Doctrine and Covenants 20:75-79 )〕 the oath and covenant of the priesthood;〔(Doctrine and Covenants 84:33-39 )〕 various promises made in the temple endowment;〔(Doctrine and Covenants 124:39 )〕 and the temple marriage covenant.〔(Doctrine and Covenants 132:15-20 )〕
