#5 - Principles of True Repentance
President Benson said, "The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature . . . "
The gospel plan is the plan of happiness. The purpose of repentance isn't to tear us down and make us feel awful, those thoughts come from Satan. The purpose of repentance is to help us become clean and receive joy. Is it easy? No but it is worth the effort to use the Savior's Atonement to help change our hearts, and become clean.
