The height of spiritual arrogance

When Thou Art Converted. Neal A. Maxwell

When you stop and think about it, it would be the height of spiritual arrogance for any of us to suppose that we have sinned so extraordinarily as to be beyond the reach of Christ’s redemption. To do so would be to suggest that His blood is insufficient, that His power is inadequate, that His sacrifice somehow isn’t enough. Even in the case of murder and the sin against the Holy Ghost, both of which sins are doctrinally unforgivable (D&C 42:18; 132:27), ultimately only God can judge the circumstances and intent of those involved. The vast majority of us can “sing the song of redeeming love” (Alma 5:26) at the top of our voices, with hearts full of love and gratitude for the blessing and opportunity repentance affords each of us to learn, to grow, to adjust, to change.
