Our words, our works, and our thoughts are but illustrations, evidences of what we really are or have become. Those who seek with all their hearts to come unto Christ and be perfected in him; who desire earnestly to forsake sin and sinfulness; who yearn, who hunger and thirst after righteousness-these shall in time have their beans changer transformed by the unspeakable gift of the Holy Ghost. They speak “not as other men” (JST, Matthew 3:25).
They perform the works of righteousness, not alone because such is required of them but also because they desire to do so, because it is the right thing to do. Their thoughts are upon good things, upon noble things, uplifting things, because their eye is single to the glory of God. They are not perfect, for they still err occasionally in judgment, speak or work or think what they should not. But their desires are to be like and with God, and they therefore repent speedily (D&C 109:21) and return without let or hindrance to the path of peace.
