Or how do I know I have become clean? These are notes from a church meeting talk. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker

– A person who asks that questions are well on their way in repentance.
– The lord immediately forgives us. Becoming clean, however, takes more work. No unclean thing can dwell with God.
– No man is a possessor of all things until he is cleansed.
– It is intended for us to be purified and cleansed. As we repent and strive to follow him.
– Lord often takes us through the refining process by chastening us. When the Lord chastens, it might sting. We can be assured that is because he loves us.
– One example of chastening.
– After Christ died, the apostles went back to fishing. Christ asked them do you love me. Peter said, Feed my sheep.
– Chasten means to purify his saints.
– How do we know we are cleaned?
– 3 Nephi: Father we thank thee that you have purified those I’ve chosen because of their faith. And they were purified through the savior.
– Message to Alma: purify your hearts before me and teach the gospel.
– Alma says: no man can be saved until his garments have been made white.
– Being made pure may be thought to be only for apostles. There were many, a great many, that were made pure.
– Malachi; who shall aide the day of his coming? The elect of God will hear the word of God
– The humble followers of Christ have been sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
– When people bear their testimony, there is usually an outpouring of the spirt.
– One often asks: if I have been forgiven why do I remember my sins? The memory of transgressions helps us to determine to not repeat them.
– Brother say how is the time for the lord to hasten our work. Prepare ourselves and sanctify ourselves and purify our hearts.
