Define the word “doctrine” and the word “covenant”:
"In the Doctrine and Covenants our Lord teaches us what to believe concerning the Godhead, the Church, the Priesthood, the Millennium, the resurrection, the state of man after death in eternal glory, or the opposite, and many other subjects about which it is necessary to have true information.
Why the name “Doctrine and Covenants”?

Define the word “Covenant”"The word 'covenant' is a term by which God indicates the settled arrangement between Him and His people. It shows us what obligations we take upon ourselves in baptism, and what blessings we secure; it teaches us how to worship God and reveals to us the way back to the presence of God" (Hyrum M. Smith and Janne M. Sjodahl, The Doctrine and Covenants Commentary, rev. ed. (1972), xiii–xv).
Why the name “Doctrine and Covenants”?

The Book of Mormon is the keystone of our religion, and the Doctrine and Covenants is the capstone, with continuing latter-day revelation.

Whenever you find a section in the Doctrine and Covenants that deals with the situation in which you find yourself, you can accept it as if you had gone to the Prophet himself and he inquired of the Lord and received a revelation for you personally.
