Join us today as we celebrate and study the birth of our Saviour through the words of the Book of Mormon. We consider how this event represents God's love and we reflect on His miraculous Atonement.
Elder David A Bednar: The first and natural consequence of trusting in the Savior is repenting and turning away from evil. As we exercise faith in and on the Lord, we naturally turn toward, come unto, and depend upon Him. Thus, repentance is trusting in and relying upon the Redeemer to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves. Each of us must '[rely] wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save' because only 'through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah' can we become new creatures in Christ and ultimately return to and dwell in the presence of God.
