How do we lose the desire to sin?

Thomas R. Valletta

“That mighty change is reported time after time in the Book of Mormon. The way it is wrought and what the person becomes are always the same. The words of God in pure doctrine go down deep into the heart by the power of the Holy Ghost. The person pleads with God in faith. The repentant heart is broken and the spirit contrite. Sacred covenants have been made. Then God keeps His covenant to grant a new heart and a new life, in His time. … Whether the miracle comes in a moment or over years, as is far more common, it is the doctrine of Jesus Christ that drives the change” (Eyring, “We Must Raise Our Sights,” 16–17).
