“They Were All Made Free, and Partakers of the Heavenly Gift”
Men and women are made free in Christ (see John 8:32; D&C 88:86; D&C 98:8). The renovating and transforming powers of the Spirit—channeled to man through the gospel—lighten burdens and liberate captive souls. Those who are freed from the fetters of sin and ignorance, who break the bands of unrighteous traditions, are in a position to enjoy in abundance the heavenly gift, the signs and wonders and marvels of the Holy Ghost. “Blessed are they who shall seek to bring forth my Zion at that day, for they shall have the gift and the power of the Holy Ghost” (1 Nephi 13:37; compare D&C 6:6; D&C 11:6; D&C 12:6; D&C 14:6).
