MOSIAH 18: 8 -10 Look for what the Lord promises us as we make and keep the covenant of baptism

“Partaking of the sacrament is a witness to God that the remembrance of His Son will extend beyond the short time of that sacred ordinance. Part of this ordinance is a promise to remember Him always and a witness of individual willingness to take upon oneself the name of Jesus Christ and to keep His commandments. In partaking of the sacrament and making these commitments, Church members renew the covenant they made at baptism (see Mosiah 18: 8– 10; D&C 20: 37).

“In return, the Lord renews the promised remission of sin and enables Church members to ‘always have his Spirit to be with them’ (D&C 20: 77). The Spirit’s constant companionship is one of the greatest gifts of mortality” (Gospel Topics, “Sacrament, ” lds. org/topics).
