men and women can become sanctified—set apart as temples of the Living God.
**"One of the greatest truths of the restored gospel is this: through the grace of Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Ghost, men and women can become sanctified—set apart as temples of the Living God. When we make and keep sacred covenants, the Lord blesses us with His Spirit to guide, teach, comfort, and purify us. The Holy Ghost does not dwell in unclean vessels; He abides with those who are humble, repentant, and striving to be holy. Such a man cannot remain in darkness or smallness of soul. His mind is enlightened, his heart softened, his desires purified. He seeks righteousness, serves others, and becomes more like the Savior, Jesus Christ, day by day. This is the destiny of every child of God: to become a house prepared for the presence of His Spirit, to receive revelation, strength, and peace. You are called to rise above the natural man and become a holy temple of the Lord."**
