The rewards of Mormonism...

Post by _Drifting »

I am well versed in what the Church takes; in time, money, mental and emotional capacity etc. but is there any reward in this life?

(over and above the rewards of being a member of a secular organization such as a club, association, team etc)

Hello drifting,

I don't have an answer for you but I have a similar question.
Let's assume that the various temple rituals actually accomplish something with regards to eternity. Since these rituals are performed after a year of membership, why do members remain active after all these rituals have been performed?

For you, does there need to be a reward in this life?
