Repentance


1. “Nowhere are the generosity and the kindness and mercy of God more manifest than in repentance.”



Packer, Boyd K. "Cleansing the Inner Vessel." General Conference. Oct 2010: n. page. Web. 22 Feb. 2013. <http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2010/10/cleansing-the-inner-vessel?lang=eng>.


2. “Every soul confined in a prison of sin, guilt, or perversion has a key to the gate. The key is labeled “repentance.” If you know how to use this key, the adversary cannot hold you.”


Packer, Boyd K. "Cleansing the Inner Vessel." General Conference. Oct 2010: n. page. Web. 22 Feb. 2013. <http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2010/10/cleansing-the-inner-vessel?lang=eng>.

3. “Repenting means giving up all of our practices—personal, family, ethnic, and national—that are contrary to the commandments of God.”


Oaks, Dallin H. "Change." General Conference. Oct 2013: n. page. Web. 22 Feb. 2013. <http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2003/10/repentance-and-change?lang=eng>.


4. “…repentance means more than giving up our sins. In its broadest meaning it requires change, giving up all of our traditions that are contrary to the commandments of God. As we become full participants in the culture of the gospel of Jesus Christ, we become “fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God””



Oaks, Dallin H. "Change." General Conference. Oct 2013: n. page. Web. 22 Feb. 2013. <http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2003/10/repentance-and-change?lang=eng>.

5. “The invitation to repent is rarely a voice of chastisement but rather a loving appeal to turn around and to “re-turn” toward God.”


Anderson, Neil L. "“Repent … That I May Heal You”." General Conference. Oct 2009: n. page. Web. 22 Feb. 2013. <http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2009/10/repent-that-i-may-heal-you?lang=eng>.



6. “Repentance not only changes us, but it also blesses our families and those we love. With our righteous repentance, in the timetable of the Lord, the lengthened-out arms of the Savior will not only encircle us but will also extend into the lives of our children and posterity. Repentance always means that there is greater happiness ahead.”


Anderson, Neil L. "“Repent … That I May Heal You”." General Conference. Oct 2009: n. page. Web. 22 Feb. 2013. <http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2009/10/repent-that-i-may-heal-you?lang=eng>.


7. “Repentance exists as an option only because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It is His infinite sacrifice that “bringeth about means unto men that they may have faith unto repentance””


Christofferson, D. Todd. "The Divine Gift of Repentance." LDS General Conference. Oct 2011: n. page. Print. <http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2011/10/the-divine-gift-of-repentance?lang=eng>.


8. “Surely the Lord smiles upon one who desires to come to judgment worthily, who resolutely labors day by day to replace weakness with strength. Real repentance, real change may require repeated attempts, but there is something refining and holy in such striving.”


Christofferson, D. Todd. "The Divine Gift of Repentance." LDS General Conference. Oct 2011: n. page. Print. <http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2011/10/the-divine-gift-of-repentance?lang=eng>.


9. “I want to assure you young people, as Alma taught, that through repentance you can qualify for all the blessings of heaven. That is what the Savior’s Atonement is all about.”


Cook, Quinton L. "Can Ye Feel So Now?." LDS General Conference. (2012): n. page. Web. 28 Mar. 2013. <http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2012/10/can-ye-feel-so-now?lang=eng>.


10. “For any whose lives are not in order, remember, it is never too late to make the Savior’s Atonement the foundation of our faith and lives.”


Cook, Quinton L. "Can Ye Feel So Now?." LDS General Conference. (2012): n. page. Web. 28 Mar. 2013. <http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2012/10/can-ye-feel-so-now?lang=eng>.
