Redemption and The Divine Gift of Repentance

I, too love hearing stories of redemption- both in the scriptures and from life experiences.

The scriptures, literature, and the experiences of life are filled with stories of redemption. Through Christ, people can and do change their lives and obtain redemption. I love stories of redemption.






Elder Christoffersen's talk was another that was easy for our kids to understand. I love the five things

Repentance is an expansive subject, but today I would like to mention just five aspects of this fundamental gospel principle that I hope will be helpful.
    First, the invitation to repent is an expression of love.
    Second, repentance means striving to change.
    Third, repentance means not only abandoning sin but also committing to obedience.
    Fourth, repentance requires a seriousness of purpose and a willingness to persevere, even through pain.
    Fifth, whatever the cost of repentance, it is swallowed up in the joy of forgiveness.
