[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 889655, member: 1246"] PurposeAccording to the LDS Church, the temple garments serve a number of purposes. First, the garment provides the member "a constant reminder" of the covenants they made in the temple. Second, the garment "when properly worn...provides protection against temptation and evil". Wearing the garment is also "an outward expression of an inward commitment" to follow Jesus Christ. [COLOR=#0645ad]General authority[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0645ad]Carlos E. Asay[/COLOR] adds that the garment "strengthens the wearer to resist temptation, fend off evil influences, and stand firmly for the right." The nature of the protection believed to be afforded by temple garments is ambiguous and varies between adherents. Researchers who interviewed a sample of Latter-day Saints who wear the temple garment reported that virtually all wearers expressed a belief that wearing the garment provided "spiritual protection" and encouraged them to keep their covenants. Some of those interviewed "asserted that the garment also provided physical protection, while others seemed less certain of any [I]physical[/I] aspect to protection." In [COLOR=#0645ad]Mormon folklore[/COLOR], tales are told of Latter-day Saints who credit their temple garments with helping them survive car wrecks, fires, and natural disasters. [/QUOTE]
