When his voice is heard by wives, it imposes a similar obligation upon them with reference to their husbands. When he speaks to parents, he directs them to bring up their children in light and in truth, to teach them the gospel, to set them examples of godly conduct. It is written that neither is the man without the woman nor the woman without the man in the Lord. In the perfected church family it might also be said that neither are the parents without the children nor the children without the parents in the Lord's type of family. The true gospel is family centered.
Full salvation consists of the continuation of the family unit in celestial glory.
That power by which salvation comes is so great that it can make of earth a heaven, and of man, a god. The noblest concept that can enter the heart of man is the concept that the family unit continues in eternity, and that salvation is a family affair. In the name of Jesus Christ.
