What does it mean to take upon ourselves the name of Christ?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Scriptures help us understand that the process of taking upon ourselves the name of Jesus Christ that is commenced in the waters of baptism is continued and enlarged in the house of the Lord. As we stand in the waters of baptism, we look to the temple. As we partake of the sacrament, we look to the temple. We pledge to always remember the Savior and to keep His commandments as preparation to participate in the sacred ordinances of the temple. … Thus, in the ordinances of the holy temple we more completely and fully take upon us the name of Jesus Christ” (Bednar, “Honorably Hold a Name and Standing,” 98).
