What is the priesthood?
“The priesthood is the power and authority of God. It existed with Him in the beginning and will continue to exist throughout all eternity. By it He creates, sustains, governs, redeems, and exalts.
“God gives priesthood power to worthy male members of the Church, who receive it by prophecy and the laying on of hands by His authorized servants . The priesthood enables mortals to act in God’s name for the salvation of the human family. Through it they can be authorized to preach the gospel, administer the ordinances of salvation, and govern God’s kingdom on earth” (Melchizedek Priesthood Leadership Handbook, p. 1).
