I was reminded this morning of a truth that I've known basically my whole life: people are born good. All people who are born on this earth are born with a tendency toward good, for two main reasons.
The first reason people are born good is that people are born with an influence called the Light of Christ. Commonly known as a conscience, this influence helps us recognize right from wrong and helps us know to choose good.
The second reason people are born good is because people had a chance to choose good before they were born. There was a war in the premortal world, and those who are born on earth are those who sided with God in that war, whereas those who sided with Satan will never be born.
Thus, everyone who is born on earth has a conscience and already has premortal experience following it. That's why people are born with an innate tendency toward good. People are born with goodness inside of them, and they were born because they have already chosen to act on it.
