Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles shares some of his thoughts on this subject.
How do I repent?
-
•
The Lord has commanded us to repent, to change our ways, to come unto Him, and be more like Him.
-
•
There must first be recognition, remorse, then confession.
-
•
Confession is to be made to the person who has been wronged. Confession should be sincere and not merely an admission of guilt.
-
•
The next step is restitution—to repair damage done.
-
•
Then come steps to resolve to do better.
-
•
Thanks to … the Atonement of Jesus Christ, full forgiveness is given to the sinner who repents and remains free from sin.
