“They Are Without Christ and God in the World”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
When a person has sinned to the point that this light of Christ, the Spirit of God, ceases to strive with him, the “spark of divine” that is inherent in every man is gone and the link to divinity is broken-leaving the person without Christ and God in their lives. If the light of Christ, which persuades men to do good, to believe in Christ and to know good from evil (see Moroni 7:16-18), is taken away due to wickedness, that person becomes spiritual chaff, blown in any direction by the tempests of Satan.
