By the grace of God

Listen to the words of Christ, your Redeemer, your Lord and your God. Behold, I came into the world not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance; the whole need no physician, but they that are sick; wherefore, little children are whole, for they are not capable of committing sin; wherefore the curse of Adam is taken from them in me, that it hath no power over them; and the law of circumcision is done away in me.

Moroni 8:8

This is evidence that God is not seeking to cast people off—instead His son is to swallow up whatever mercy may claim.

For behold, to one is given by the Spirit of God, that he may teach the word of wisdom;


And to another, that he may teach the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;


And to another, exceedingly great faith; and to another, the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;


And again, to another, that he may work mighty miracles;


And again, to another, that he may prophesy concerning all things;


And again, to another, the beholding of angels and ministering spirits;


And again, to another, all kinds of tongues;


And again, to another, the interpretation of languages and of divers kinds of tongues.


And all these gifts come by the Spirit of Christ; and they come unto every man severally, according as he will.


And I would exhort you, my beloved brethren, that ye remember that every good gift cometh of Christ.

Moroni 10:9-18

This is another evidence of the truth that those who come to Christ become their best, most unique selves rather than beginning part of a boring, homogeneous mass of people.

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; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God.


And again, if ye by the grace of God are perfect in Christ, and deny not his power, then are ye sanctified in Christ by the grace of God, through the shedding of the blood of Christ, which is in the covenant of the Father unto the remission of your sins, that ye become holy, without spot.

Moroni 10:32-33
