The words shield and reward describe the blessings that come from our covenants with God in this life and for eternity. Through covenants the Lord shields, or protects, us from the power of the adversary that would prevent us from obtaining eternal life.
Also through covenants the Lord gives us promises concerning our eternal reward and the power to obtain it. This reward “is the greatest of all the gifts of God” (D&C 14:7). If we recognize that the Lord has power to fulfill the promises He makes like He did with Abraham (see Genesis 15), we will put Him and His covenants above all other things in our lives and receive these promised blessings.

There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, “Thy will be done,” and those to whom God says, in the end, “Thy will be done.” All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened.
Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going after this life?
Now, as you have asked, behold, I say unto you, keep my commandments, and seek to bring forth and establish the cause of Zion;
Seek not for riches but for wisdom, and behold, the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto you, and then shall you be made rich. Behold, he that hath eternal life is rich.
Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.
Knowing that the primary work of God is to “bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man” (Moses 1:39) and knowing that without a physical body man could not have a fullness of joy (see D&C 93:33-35) and knowing that coming to earth to prove oneself is a prerequisite to eternal progression (see Abraham 3:25), one could safely say that bringing children into the world is one of the highest priorities in the Lord’s plan.

After ye have gotten into this strait and narrow path, I would ask if all is done? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.
Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.
Our Eternal Life -
We are eternal beings. We lived as spirits before we were born and we will continue to live after we die.
What do Mormons believe happens to us after we die? What do Mormons believe about life after death?
Death is not the end. Death is really a beginning—another step forward in Heavenly Father’s plan for His children. Someday, like everyone else, your physical body will die. But your spirit does not die, it goes to the spirit world, where you will continue to learn and progress and may be with loved ones who have passed on.
Death is a necessary step in your progression, just as your birth was. Sometime after your death, your spirit and your body will be reunited—never to be separated again. This is called resurrection, and it was made possible by the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ (see 1 Corinthians 15:20-22).
