“The heavens will not be filled with those who never made mistakes but with those who recognized that they were off course and who corrected their ways to get back in the light of gospel truth.”
Dieter F. Uchtdorf, A Matter of a Few Degrees, General Conference, April 2008
“Unsurprisingly, seekers after cheap repentance also search for superficial forgiveness instead of real reconciliation. Thus, real repentance goes far beyond simply saying, “I’m sorry.”.”
Neal A. Maxwell, Repentance - Ensign Nov. 1991 - ensign
“There is really no other way to get lasting healing and peace. Postponing humble repentance will delay or prevent your receiving relief. Admit to yourself your mistakes and seek help now. Your bishop is a friend with keys of authority to help you find peace of mind and contentment. The way will be opened for you to have strength to repent and be forgiven.”
Richard G. Scott, Trust in the Lord, General Conference, October 1995
“If the burden is guilt, then repentance is the Balm of Gilead.”
Boyd K. Packer, Balm of Gilead, General Conference April 1987
All who have belonged to these cultures of sin must repent and change if they are to become the people of God, for He has warned that “no unclean thing can enter into his kingdom.
Dallin H. Oaks, Repentance and Change, General Conference October 2003
Full repentance is absolutely essential for the Atonement to work its complete miracle in your life.
Richard G. Scott, Finding Forgiveness, General Conference April 1995
If you are suffering the disheartening effects of transgression, please recognize that the only path to permanent relief from sadness is sincere repentance with a broken heart and a contrite spirit.
Richard G. Scott, Trust in the Lord, General Conference October 1995
Because we are accountable and we make the choices, the redemption from our own sins is conditional—conditioned on confessing and abandoning sin and turning to a godly life, or in other words, conditioned on repentance.
Todd D. Christofferson, Redemption, General Conference April 2013
Faith and repentance lead to the purifying waters of baptism, where we covenant to take upon us the name of Jesus Christ and walk in His footsteps.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf, The Way of the Disciple, General Conference April 2009
If you have repented from serious transgression and mistakenly believe that you will always be a second-class citizen in the kingdom of God, learn that is not true. The Savior said: ‘Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more. ‘By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins–behold, he will confess them and forsake them.’16 Find encouragement in the lives of Alma the Younger and the sons of Mosiah. They were tragically wicked. Yet their full repentance and service qualified them to be considered as noble as righteous Captain Moroni.17 To you who have sincerely repented yet continue to feel the burden of guilt, realize that to continue to suffer for sins when there has been proper repentance and forgiveness of the Lord is prompted by the master of deceit.
Richard G. Scott, The Path to Peace and Joy, General Conference October 2000
