But as oft as they repented and sought forgiveness, with real intent, they were forgiven. - Moro. 6:8
"The Lord makes it clear that all have need of repentance, and that if we truly repent and accept His yoke of love and forgiveness and of obedience, He will receive us," said Elder Mark E. Petersen of the Quorum of the Twelve in the October 1971 general conference.
