And they had been teaching the word of God for the space of fourteen years among the Lamanites, having had much success in bringing many to the knowledge of the Truth [Jesus]; yea, by the power of their words many were brought before the altar of God, to call on his name and confess their sins before him.
Alma 17:4

And it came to pass that the Lord began to bless them, insomuch that they brought many to the knowledge of the Truth [Jesus]; yea, they did convince many of their sins, and of the traditions of their fathers, which were not correct.
Alma 21:17

Jesus is the Truth. He came so that we could change and be redeemed. Through him our hearts are changed, we grow in love, and we become more divine.
