Repentance
Your Heavenly Father wants you to be happy. Sin, or wrongdoing, makes people unhappy, for “wickedness never was happiness” (The Book of Mormon, Alma 41:10).Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, Heavenly Father has provided a way for you to repent and be forgiven for things you have done wrong. To repent, it is necessary to: - Confess your sins to God.
- Feel sincere sorrow for your sins.
- Ask God to forgive you.
- Do all you can to correct the problems your actions may have caused.
- Turn away from your sins and not repeat them.
Through the Atonement of Christ, sincere repentance brings forgiveness and greater peace in this life. It prepares you to live with your Heavenly Father in the life to come.
