Day 17: Are People Born Good?
We know babies and little children are innocent but this video discusses a more fundamental question of human nature. King Benjamin taught, "the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been since the fall of Adam and will be forever and ever UNLESS he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit..." This means that we MUST change and resist the natural inclinations/tendencies that drive our behavior (our appetites: laziness, desire for pleasure, anger, focus on what "I" want, impatience, desire for things, short-temper, looking for the easy way out, etc.).
Assignment: think of your own "natural" inclinations and appetites... Choose one that you need to change and transform from human nature to godly nature. Compose a comment about that "natural man/woman/child" trait and how you can work to change it. Don't be embarrassed, we all have them!
