“As Often As My People Repent Will I Forgive Them”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

Though God’s power to forgive, like his power to love, is infinite, it was not Alma’s intention to suggest that we can continuously break the same law under the guise of repentance. “Repentance is a thing,” declared Joseph Smith, “that cannot be trifled with every day. Daily transgression and daily repentance is not that which is pleasing in the sight of God.” (Teachings, p. 148.)
