  13. Melchizedek “Surely no greater tribute or more generous adulation could be mentioned than to be so much like the Son of God that one’s name could be substituted for his in the title of the most powerful force in the universe --- the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God” Jeffrey R. Holland, Christ and the New Covenant, 175

  19. What is the connection between choices made during premortal life and PRIESTHOOD? “In the premortal spirit world, God appointed certain spirits to fulfill specific missions during their mortal lives. This is called foreordination. “Foreordination does not guarantee that individuals will receive certain callings or responsibilities. Such opportunities come in this life as a result of the righteous exercise of agency, just as foreordination came as a result of righteousness in the premortal existence” (True to the Faith: A Gospel Reference [2004], 69).

  20. What is the connection between choices made during premortal life and PRIESTHOOD? “Premortality is not a relaxing doctrine. For each of us, there are choices to be made, incessant and difficult chores to be done, ironies and adversities to be experienced, time to be well spent, talents and gifts to be well employed. Just because we were chosen ‘there and then,’ surely does not mean we can be indifferent ‘here and now.’ Those called and prepared must also prove to be ‘chosen and faithful.’ (See Rev. 17:14; D&C 121:34–36.)” (Elder Maxwell, “Premortality, a Glorious Reality,” Ensign, Nov. 1985, 17).

  21. What is the connection between choices made during premortal life and WOMANHOOD? Spencer W. Kimball: “Remember, in the world before we came here, faithful women were given certain assignments while faithful men were foreordained to certain priesthood tasks” (“The Role of Righteous Women,”Ensign, Nov. 1979, 102).
