THE FUNCTION AND USE OF KEYS, Chapter 5 of Holy Priesthood Volume 6
Pages 67 to 71

The veil was taken from our minds, and the eyes of our understanding were opened. (D & C 110:1)
The value of any key is in its use and function. If you should find a ring of keys along the road, you would have a problem in knowing what they are for; and without that knowledge, they would be worthless to you. If such a perplexing situation arises over small temporal keys, what greater problems can arise over spiritual keys! Men use keys and locks to open up their temporal treasures; God uses keys to open up the treasures of His Kingdom.
A key without a lock, or a lock without a key, is of no value. Furthermore, if they are not protecting anything of value, they are still worthless. The greater the value of that which is protected, the greater the value of the keys. This can also be applied to spiritual keys as well.
All keys have one thing in common–they are meant to operate, function, or perform some useful act. If they do not achieve this, then of what value are they?
