Being sinner or living in a rebellious state, we never feel the peace in this mortal life unless we are in complete submission. Even if we are fully active in the church, we still must be submissive to GOD. When we reached this pinnacle of learning, it is then the Spirit begins to sweep away our sins and the memory thereof, and our lives begin to transform as the Savior wants us to be. Returning to that former child when you living in the pre-mortal realm.

Remember, as we truly seek repentance, please take the time and learn this prinicple fully, that you maybe edified and have a complete understanding. You will find members who think they truly know the principle but never truly experience it.

Elder Theodore M. Burton, once as a Presiding Bishopric once talked about this and wrote about this principle that may aid those to gain some insight on this simply principle. the article is "The Meaning of Repentance." It basically breaks down the process of repentance is three steps. Yes! Three simply steps but you will find, it can be hard for those who do not follow these steps truly do not repent. Elder Burton stated:



Having the background of this principle and knowledge how to accomplish it appropriately, your repentance process will be quick and receiving back the same feeling you once held a precious fruit that taste sweet and nourishing. Good luck and GOD Bless you on your future journey in the Gospel of Christ.
