We don't even need to open the Book of Mormon...
John 1:
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Where was there ever a son that could not become like his father?
The telling thing about this scripture is that it does not say Christ does all the work for you. In fact, it says He gives us the ability to become. Still, without this gift we cannot become, so Christ is responsible. But, without something from us we cannot become, just the same.
It is what we become by believing in and following Christ. There IS a result. That is what Christianity has always been about.
This is one of the truths that is caught and not taught. The words are there but one can't comprehend them until they are ready to.
