Though that new birth may come in a dramatic, sudden encounter with the powers of godliness, Latter-day Saints believe that most men and women are born again gradually, steadily over time, as the Spirit begins to work a mighty change within them. Ezra Taft Benson, president of the Church in the late twentieth century, thus taught, “We must be cautious as we discuss . . . remarkable examples [of rebirth]. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every [one of these], there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life.”Share
