Unit 5: The Church of Jesus Christ
Chapter 15: The Lord's Covenant People
Concept 1: Introduction
"From the beginning the Lord has made covenants with his children on earth. When his people make covenants (or promises) with him, they know what he expects of them and what blessings they may expect from him. They can better carry out his work on earth. The people who covenant with the Lord and with whom the Lord makes covenants are know as the Lord's "covenant people". Members of the Church are part of the Lord's covenant people.

What does the Lord mean when he calls his people a "peculiar people"?
Why are Latter-day Saints called a covenant People?
