Who We Are Becoming #christians Elder Renlund

[Verse 1] Becoming a Christian today Is both a choice and a process That joyful journey begins with faith Repentance and baptism to progress The Spirit of the Lord converts us Into something better than we were before To become but a new creature, thus With our hearts changed to do evil no more [Chorus] We are transformed We are transformed Through conversion The Holy Ghost confirms this always We gain remission The old things pass away [Verse 2] But what of my past? Some might say Being filled with a lifetime of regret and remorse God cares a lot more about who we are And who we are becoming than about who we once were [Chorus] We are transformed We are transformed Through conversion The Holy Ghost confirms this always We gain remission The old things pass away [Bridge] From here our discipleship continues Learning and growing in faith Repenting daily trying to choose The path that our Savior has laid [Final Chorus] We are transformed We are transformed Through conversion The Holy Ghost confirms this always We gain remission The old things pass away https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/l... “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). Elder Dale G. Renlund of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles described the fruit of this ongoing transformation: “Our hearts are changed, and ‘we have no more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually’ [Mosiah 5:2]. … God cares a lot more about who we are and who we are becoming than about who we once were” (“Lifelong Conversion” [Brigham Young University devotional, Sept. 14, 2021], 4, speeches.byu.edu)https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/l...
