On Being Born of God




"Marvel not", declares Alma, "That all mankind, yea, men and women, all nations, kindreds, tongues and people, must be born again; yea, born of God, changed from their carnal and fallen state, to a state of righteousness.... And thus they be come new creatures" (Mosiah 27:25-26).

I love the process and final reward that President Kimball describes for this mighty change that we must all achieve:

"I have learned that where there is a prayerful heart, a hungering after righteousness, a forsaking of sins, and obedience to the commandments of God, the Lord pours out more and more light until there is finally power to pierce the heavenly veil and to know more than man knows.  A person of such righteousness has the priceless promise that one day he shall see the Lord's face and know that he is."  (D&C 93:1)
