We have all made incorrect choices. If we have not already corrected such choices, I assure you that there is a way to do so. The process is called repentance. I plead with you to correct your mistakes. Our Savior died to provide you and me that blessed gift. Although the path is not easy, the promise is real: “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. And I, the Lord, remember them no more.” Don’t put your eternal life at risk. If you have sinned, the sooner you begin to make your way back, the sooner you will find the sweet peace and joy that come with the miracle of forgiveness.

The process is called repentance.

Not according to pd's links bm - DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS 58:43: “By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins—behold, he will confess them and forsake them.” If you continue to sin - you have not repented.

Our Savior died to provide you and me that blessed gift.

What 'gift' is that bm? Grace? Once again pd's links tell me that -

MORONI 10:32: “Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; ye can in nowise deny the power of God.” I MUST become PERFECT before that 'gift' of GRACE can be given bm.

“Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. And I, the Lord, remember them no more.”

Once again, there is no forgiveness of this sort by the mormon Jesus - ALMA 11:37: “And I say unto you again that he cannot save them in their sins; for I cannot deny his word, and he hath said that no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore, how can ye be saved, except ye inherit the kingdom of heaven? Therefore, ye cannot be saved in your sins.” Mormon Jesus cannot save me in my sins - then the mormon "Jesus" cannot forgive.

If you have sinned, the sooner you begin to make your way back, the sooner you will find the sweet peace and joy that come with the miracle of forgiveness.

So one looks to the book by the same title "Miracle of Forgiveness”, by Spencer W. Kimball, a mormon "prophet", certainly he can clarify the mormon scriptures. Yet he wrote - "“Because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can receive forgiveness for our sins through sincere and complete repentance." Well, we just saw that by mormon doctrine repentance, it means the complete cessation of sin forever. 1 John 1:8 states - "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." So at no point in our lives can we say we are without sin - therefore we can never completely repent according to the mormon 'Jesus'.

Your mormon 'Jesus' doesn't offer grace - your mormon 'Jesus' is like a loan officer. Your apostle recently put it this way -

"Because of what He accomplished by His atoning sacrifice, Jesus Christ has the power to prescribe the conditions we must fulfill to qualify for the blessings of His Atonement. That is why we have commandments and ordinances. That is why we make covenants. That is how we qualify for the promised blessings. They all come through the mercy and grace of the Holy One of Israel, 'after all we can do' (2 Nephi 25:23)." (Dallin Oaks, Oct 2010, General Conference)

The mormon "Jesus" offers false grace and false salvation.
