Helaman 3:27

Thus we may see that the Lord is merciful unto all

who will, in the sincerity of their hearts, call upon his holy name.

Helaman 3:35

Nevertheless they did fast and pray oft,

and did wax stronger and stronger in their humility,

and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ,

unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation,

yea, even to the purifying and the sanctification of their hearts,

which sanctification cometh because of their yielding their hearts unto God.

Helaman 4:12

And it was because of the pride of their hearts,

because of their exceeding riches,

yea, it was because of their oppression to the poor,

withholding their food from the hungry,

withholding their clothing from the naked,

and smiting their humble brethren upon the cheek,

making a mock of that which was sacred,

denying the spirit of prophecy and of revelation,

murdering, plundering, lying, stealing, committing adultery,

rising up in great contentions,

and deserting away into the land of Nephi, among the Lamanites—

Helaman 6:35

And thus we see that the Spirit of the Lord began to withdraw from the Nephites,

because of the wickedness and the hardness of their hearts.
