Elder D. Todd Christofferson Mosiah
21:15
“Repentance means striving to change. It would mock the
Savior’s suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross for us to
expect that He should transform us into angelic beings with no real effort on
our part. Rather, we seek His grace to complement and reward our most diligent
efforts (see 2 Nephi 25:23). … Real repentance, real change may require
repeated attempts, but there is something refining and holy in such striving.
Divine forgiveness and healing flow quite naturally to such a soul” (D. Todd
Christofferson, “The Divine Gift of Repentance,” Ensign, Nov. 2011, 39).
