The Priesthood

  The Priesthood Summary Statement As a priesthood holder, I am entrusted a piece of God's power. Above all, the priesthood is used to bless the lives of others. My righteous use of the priesthood is a sign to Heavenly Father that I love Him. Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, I am blessed to be able to exercise priesthood power. The priesthood is a privilege.
