Repentance is one of the first principles of the gospel and is essential to our temporal and eternal happiness. It is much more than just acknowledging wrongdoings. It is a change of mind and heart that gives us a fresh view about God, about ourselves, and about the world. It includes turning away from sin and turning to God for forgiveness. It is motivated by love for God and the sincere desire to obey His commandments.
Helaman 7:10-11
"Now it came to pass that it was ...in the garden..., Nephi had bowed himself upon the tower... and...was pouring out his soul unto God..."
