Christlike attributes are gifts from God. They cannot be developed
without His help. The one help we all need is given to us freely through
the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Having faith in Jesus Christ and in His
Atonement means relying completely on Him—trusting in His infinite
power, intelligence, and love. Christlike attributes come into our lives
as we exercise our agency righteously. Faith in Jesus Christ leads to
action. When we have faith in Christ, we trust the Lord enough to follow
His commandments—even when we do not completely understand the reasons
for them. In seeking to become more like the Savior, we need to
reevaluate our lives regularly and rely, through the path of true
repentance, upon the merits of Jesus Christ and the blessings of His
Atonement.
