The title of the magazine holds great significance; the word "ensign" is rich in meaning. The King James Bible translators used it to mean a signal, sign, identifying symbol, standard, or banner. Hence, we read the biblical prophecy that in the last days the Lord would "set up an ensign for the nations" (Isa. 11:12), a standard to which Israel and the righteous of all nations might gather in preparation for the Millennium. In latter-day scriptures, ensign symbolizes such standards as the new and everlasting covenant (D&C 45:9), the gospel of salvation (D&C 49:8-9; 2 Ne. 29:2), the latter-day Zion (D&C 64:41-43), and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (D&C 115:4-6).

The magazine contains a monthly First Presidency message, used in Home Teaching; a monthly Relief Society Visiting Teaching message; articles on scripture and doctrine, plus the experiences and testimonies of members and leaders; and provide supportive articles for individuals, couples, parents, and local Church leaders and teachers. Since 1976 the editor for the Ensign has always been a General Authority. This is because it is official curriculum of the Church and as such needs to be looked over by a General Authority.
