“When we yield our
hearts to Christ—by conforming to the principles and ordinances of His
gospel—He changes us. He also heals us and sanctifies us (see Helaman 3:35). As
a result, “we have no more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually”
(Mosiah 5:2). This is they might change of heart experienced by the people of
King Benjamin (see Mosiah 5:2) and by Alma the Younger (see Ama 5:12-14). This
is the rebirth of which the Savior spole to the Pharisee Nicodemus (see John
3:1-5). It occurs when we apply the doctrine of Christ. We are reborn into the
family of Christ and thereby become His sons and His daughters (see Mosiah
5:7). This rebirth is the essence of His gospel, for it prepares us to return
to the presence of the Father.”
Elder Wilford W. Anderson, “Receiving and Retaining a Mighty
Change,” Ensign, April 2012, 36.
