We are so thankful for your desire to take this class, to try to improve your lives. Thank you for your faith. Of course, our objective in this book, The Divine Gift of Forgiveness, is that this will not just be a class but a way of life as you go step by step toward your heavenly home. Listen to this amazing quotation from President Russell M. Nelson. "Nothing is more liberating, more ennobling, or more crucial to our individual progression than is a regular daily focus on repentance. Experience the strengthening power of daily repentance, of doing and being a little better each day." Do you see that this is much more than a class? Repentance, forgiveness, the Atonement of the Savior Jesus Christ. Approaching Him, trusting Him: this is our daily walk. Think of the sacrament. And as we take that bread and as we drink that water, we promise to always remember Him, to keep Him in our heart and in all our actions. We take His name upon us. Can you see how the temple has a role in this? We go to the temple to make sacred covenants with Him. Those ordinances come up in us and say, "Stay strong. Don't give up. Keep the promises that you've made." We make promises to our Savior, but those promises are very small compared to the promises and the assurances He makes to us. And as we do these things, step by step, repentance becomes a daily and continual process. I can give you this promise: if you will take the concepts, the principles, the doctrines, the teachings of Christ that you've learned in this class and you will apply them on a daily basis to your life, not just for a week or a month but for the rest of your life, you will find you will land yourself in the kingdom of God. Remember, the celestial kingdom is not made for a few people. He has prepared that kingdom for His sons and daughters, and He wants you there. These things are true, and they will be yours as you make this a part of your daily living. And I say it in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
