Point of Safe Return

Some mistakenly believe that if they can remember their sins, they have not been forgiven. President Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the First Presidency explained why we might remember our sins even after we have been forgiven: “Satan will try to make us believe that our sins are not forgiven because we can remember them. Satan is a liar; he tries to blur our vision and lead us away from the path of repentance and forgiveness. God did not promise that we would not remember our sins. Remembering will help us avoid making the same mistakes again. But if we stay true and faithful, the memory of our sins will be softened over time. This will be part of the needed healing and sanctification process” (“Point of Safe Return,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2007, 101).
