Elder Bednar taught:
All of us have experienced the pain associated with a
physical injury or wound. When we are in pain, we typically seek relief and are
grateful for the medication and treatments that help to alleviate our
suffering. Consider sin as a spiritual wound that causes guilt…. Guilt is to
our spirit what pain is to our body – a warning of danger and a protection from
additional damage” (We
Believe in Being Chaste,” Ensign, May 2013, 44).
