The Law of Chastity for Latter-day Saints is God’s law of sexual purity. At baptism, Latter-day Saints agree to strive to obey this law throughout their lives. We also covenant in our temples to keep this commandment. In this video, Dave talks about what the Law of Chastity means, what it doesn’t mean, and why it’s important.

Notes:
— President Nelson recently taught that “The power to create life is the one privilege of godhood that Heavenly Father allows His mortal children to exercise. Thus, God set clear guidelines for the use of this living, divine power.” Source: https://tinyurl.com/3uwvcrx2
— “God gave us sex and prescribed uses and times and seasons and proprieties. We came on this earth to prove ourselves. It is in the disciplining and controlling of ourselves that we approach perfection.” Source: “The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball,” Edward Kimball (editor), pg. 170.
— I love this quote from Elder Dallin H. Oaks: “It is not enough for anyone just to go through the motions. The commandments, ordinances, and covenants of the gospel are not a list of deposits required to be made in some heavenly account. The gospel of Jesus Christ is a plan that shows us how to become what our Heavenly Father desires us to become.” Source: “The Challenge to Become,” Liahona, Jan. 2001, 40; Ensign, Nov. 2000, 32.
