Today we're continuing our study of the repentance of Alma and the sons of Mosiah. We consider what is the timeline of repentance and reflect on the spiritual birth that we must all undergo during our life.
Bruce R McConkie: The spiritual birth comes after the natural birth. It is to die as pertaining to worldliness and carnality and to become a new creature by the power of the Spirit. It is to begin a new life, a life in which we bridle our passions and control our appetites, a life of righteousness, a spiritual life. Whereas we were in a deep abyss of darkness, now we are alive in Christ and bask in the shining rays of his everlasting light. Such is the new birth, the second birth, the birth into the household of Christ.
