A covenant written and sealed upon our hearts, binding the earth and heaven to bring the heavens to the earth. This term is used to describe our salvation and exaltation through the Atonement of Christ. The first principles and ordinances of the new and everlasting covenant are: faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, repentance in His name, baptism by immersion for the remission of sins, the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost, and the Lord’s Supper.
We take the Sacrament of Communion “to renew the New and Everlasting Covenant, in fellowship with the Saints of Zion” (Doctrines of the Saints 15f:6). Not to be confused with the Holy Spirit of Promise.
See Doctrines of the Saints 17a:28. See also Covenant, and Everlasting Covenant.
