Beliefs & Doctrine

Abrahamic Covenant

  1. God's covenant with Abraham, promising him a great posterity, lands of inheritance, and the priesthood and gospel — blessings inherited by covenant Israel.

Latter-day Saints believe they inherit this covenant through baptism and temple covenants, taking on the responsibility to bless all nations, as Abraham was promised. A patriarchal blessing typically declares one's lineage within it.
