1 - "The Savior's restored gospel invites us to be spiritually transformed—not merely to improve our behavior. As we align our character, desires, actions, and what we truly love more closely with God's will, the Savior can bring about a comprehensive and complete change in us."

2 - "As we strive to put off the natural man and become Saints through the Savior's Atonement, we are to 'come unto [Him],' be 'born again,' bind ourselves to the Father and the Son through sacred covenants and ordinances, pledge our willingness to take upon us the Savior's name, 'receive a fulness of the Holy Ghost,' experience a 'mighty change [of] heart,' and serve the Lord with all our 'heart, might, mind and strength.' We are to become new creatures in Christ."

3 - "Mormon also taught that 'whoso is found possessed of [the spiritual gift of charity] at the last day, it shall be well with him.' Note the double meaning of the word of in this verse. We can possess charity, but ultimately charity should possess us. ... As we follow, love, and serve the Savior, we gradually focus less on our own desires and interests and more on understanding and addressing the needs of others. We do not merely perform benevolent deeds; rather, our state of being is changed and becomes increasingly Christlike. Charity, then, ultimately possesses us."

4 - "For disciples of the Savior, charity encompasses both what we do and what we can become as this spiritual gift ultimately possesses us. At a fundamental level, charity certainly includes acts of compassion, kindness, and generosity directed toward others. But at a higher and even holier level, charity is the very essence of the 'end' toward which we are enduring—becoming new creatures in Christ."

5 - "Please consider how these two overarching dimensions of charity are described in the thirteenth article of faith. The first half of the statement emphasizes charitable and gracious acts: 'We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men.' The second half of the statement emphasizes the ongoing nature of our spiritual transformation: 'We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.' This concluding article of faith is an admonition for us to do good, to be good, and to endure to the end in coming unto and following the Savior and receiving the heavenly gift to love as He loves."

6 - "The Redeemer of the world turned outward in love and service when He faced spiritual adversity or physical pain—in contrast to the natural man in each of us that turns inward in self-interest, self-centeredness, and selfishness. As we live as He invites us to live and with His help, our nature and character over time increasingly become more like His."

7 - "[P]ray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love (charity)."

8 - "The pattern of spiritual development evident in the Savior’s mortal life also applies to each of us. Jesus Christ was 'in the beginning with the Father.' So were we. He 'came and dwelt in the flesh,' and 'he received not of the fulness at first, but [received and] continued … grace to grace, until he received a fulness.' As children of God, we also can receive of His fulness 'in due time,' following the same 'grace for grace' pattern as did the Savior."

9 - "Enduring to the end is the joyous quest of a lifetime—a pressing forward with faith in Jesus Christ in a gradual process of trusting in and receiving help from our Savior to become more like Him."

10 - "The scriptural phrase 'endure to the end' is a repeated reminder of the mighty spiritual change in our hearts that should be ongoing throughout our lives; it also is His promise of what we may become if we truly are possessed of the pure love of Christ."
