+ | === On repentance === | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are a lot of scriptures where the prophets command people to repent. It can seem a bit brash at times, out of context, the way that the message is so forcefully given. It is in cases like this that it is good to remember Heavenly Father as a //person//, and who is approaching His children's situations in a very //personal// way. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Calling people to repentance isn't just a commandment to end wickedness, it's a promise and a plea that is instructing them how to exit the horrible situations in life they find themselves stuck in, spiritually, socially, and so on. It is the invitation to a better life, and the quickest way and most effective path to get there. |
