Which is to show unto the remnant of the house of Israel what great things the Lord hath done for their fathers; and that they may know the covenants of the Lord, that they are not cast off forever

In addition to the Abrahamic Covenant, the Savior himself made specific promises to our ancestors (and everyone who has or will have ever lived on this earth). This occurred when his body was in the tomb and his spirit went to the spirit world. There he organized from among the righteous those who would teach the principles of the gospel to everyone else.
They were taught faith, repentance, vicarious baptism and the gift of the holy ghost. They were also taught that if they repent, they will be redeemed through obedience to the ordinances of the house of God.
See D&C 138:28-35, 58-59
These are also the powerful promises made to our fathers by the Savior. They were promised that we would do the work for them.
The Abrahamic Covenant is 2 parts - covenant of salvation (baptism) and the covenant of exaltation (temple ordinances).
This is what the Savior promised to all our ancestors when he visited the spirit world and organized the work there.
