"For the  natural   man  is an  enemy  to God, and has been from the  fall  of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he  yields  to the enticings of the  Holy Spirit , and  putteth  off the  natural  man and becometh a  saint  through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a  child ,  submissive , meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father." Mosiah 3:19
