Conversion

"The essence of the gospel of Jesus Christ entails a fundamental and permanent change in our very nature made possible through the Savior's Atonement.  Tru conversion brings a change in one's beliefs, heart, and life to accept and conform to the will of God and includes a conscious commitment to become a disciple of Christ."
(Elder David A. Bednar, Converted Unto the Lord, October 2012 General Conference)

"True conversion will strengthen your capacity to do what you know you should do, when you should do it, regardless of the circumstances."

"Have you ever pondered the sorrow of losing one and what sadness there must be when many are lost?  That is what the Lord feels.  It is what our prophet feels.  And that is what I hope that you and I can feel, that we can show determination to nurture those who have experienced the joys of feeling the Spirit, being baptized, and gaining a testimony and who are in the process of overcoming trials and tribulations and achieving an enduring conversion that will last eternally."

"I bear testimony that as you pray for guidance, the Holy Ghost will help identify the personal changes you need to make for full conversion.  The Lord can then bless you more abundantly.  Your faith in Him will be fortified, your capacity to repent will increase, and your power to consistently obey will be reinforced."

"Repentance is the Lord's regimen for spiritual growth.  Brothers and sisters, that means conversion! Repentance is conversion! A repentant soul is a converted soul, and a converted soul is a repentant soul."

"The Apostle Paul said that persons who have received the Spirit of God 'have the mind of Christ' (1 Cor. 2:16). I understand this to mean that persons who are proceeding toward the needed conversion are beginning to see things as our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, see them. They are hearing His voice instead of the voice of the world, and they are doing things in His way instead of by the ways of the world."

"How do we know if we are truly converted? Self-examination tests are available in the scriptures. One measures the degree of conversion prerequisite to baptism.  Another measures our willingness to serve others. To His disciple Peter, the Lord said, 'I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.'  Willingness to serve and strengthen others stands as a symbol of one’s readiness to be healed."

"Remember Alma’s description of what it feels like: 'It beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding, yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me.'  You will know that the gospel is being written in your heart, that your conversion is happening, as the word of the Lord from His prophets, past and present, feels more and more delicious to your soul."
(Elder D. Todd Christofferson, When Thou Art Converted, April 2004 General Conference)

"While prayer, scripture study, and service in the Church helped me to learn the Father’s plan and gain and develop an eternal perspective, I have an increased appreciation for the contribution that sacred hymns bring to conversion.

During my childhood and youth and especially in Primary, the hymns of the Restoration, written by true servants of God, played a profound role in my conversion to the gospel and an understanding of His plan. President Packer has said, 'If we will listen, they are teaching the gospel, for the hymns of the Restoration are, in fact, a course in doctrine!' (in Conference Report, Oct. 1991, 29; or Ensign, Nov. 1991, 22)."

"Brethren and sisters, true and complete conversion is the key to accelerating the work of the Church.
We know that both members and nonmembers are more likely to be thoroughly converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ when there is a willingness to experiment upon the word (see Alma 32:27). This is an attitude of both mind and heart that includes a desire to know the truth and a willingness to act on that desire."
