Acts 2:37. “They were pricked in their heart”

Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles taught:

“True conversion comes through the power of the Spirit. When the Spirit touches the heart, hearts are changed. When individuals … feel the Spirit working with them, or when they see the evidence of the Lord’s love and mercy in their lives, they are edified and strengthened spiritually and their faith in Him increases. These experiences with the Spirit follow naturally when a person is willing to experiment upon the word. This is how we come to feel the gospel is true” (“Now Is the Time,”Ensign, Nov. 2000, 75).
