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 5:24

that they were encircled about with a pillar of fire,

and that it burned them not,

their hearts did take courage.

and did enter into their hearts,

and they were filled as if with fire,

and they could speak forth marvelous words.



Helaman 6:17

For behold, the Lord had blessed them so long with the riches of the world

that they had not been stirred up to anger, to wars, nor to bloodshed;

therefore they began to set their hearts upon their riches;

yea, they began to seek to get gain

that they might be lifted up one above another;

therefore they began to commit secret murders, and to rob and to plunder,

that they might get gain.



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.
