The Keys and Authority of the Priesthood

BY ELDER DALLIN H. OAKS

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

President Joseph F. Smith described the priesthood as “the power of God delegated to man by which man can act in the earth for the salvation of the human family.”

If men are the holders of the Priesthood, how does this apply to women?
- Callings and Leadership roles
- Set apart blessings
- Ask for blessings through Priesthood holders
- Temple

We were created to rely on one another. 1 Corinthians 11:11 "Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord." 

We need each other. If we had everything, we would be become very independent. We would have no reason to work together, which is Heavenly Fathers plan. Unity and love. The world teaches us to be equal and perform the same tasks, but we were created different, we have different roles. But we all receive the same blessings from Heavenly Father. He loves all of us the same. He won't withhold blessings from us if we are keeping His commandments.

We need to fulfill our personal responsibilities and callings.
