“Increase Their Seed”
Righteous posterity has ever been the crowning blessing of the faithful. Because of his faithfulness Abraham received promises concerning his seed that were to continue both in the world and out of the world. Indeed, he was promised that they would be “as innumerable as the stars,” or if you were to count the “sand upon the seashore ye could not number them” (D&C 132:30). For those who enter into the new and everlasting covenant of marriage, “this promise is yours also, because ye are of Abraham” (D&C 132:31).
