Becoming Christlike is a Lifelong Pursuit

"Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible..."...For every Paul, there is an Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible.  Day by day they move l=closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life.  They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment.  They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said 'were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and they knew it not.' (3 Ne 9:20; italics added).
