Join us as we begin our study of Mosiah 5. We consider the process of receiving a mighty change of heart and were reflect on a powerful story that relates to this, shared in the April 2020 General Conference. 

Elder David A Bednar: As we press forward submissively with faith in the Savior, then because of His Atonement and by the power of the Holy Ghost, 'a mighty change [takes place] in us, or in our hearts, that we have no more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually.'' We are 'born again; yea, born of God, changed from [our] carnal and fallen state, to a state of righteousness, being redeemed of God.' 'Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.'

Such a comprehensive change in our nature typically does not occur quickly or all at once. Like the Savior, we also receive 'not of the fulness at the first, but [receive] grace for grace.' 'For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom.
