From the Paper:

"God planned for the unity of two people, and God planned on couples having children. God's plan was to have a world that could be lived in harmony and without sin. Unfortunately sin became a part of our lives as early as the first people that God created. When people today struggle to become a Christian, they may find that it is a hard choice to live by with all the sin that is in the world. It's very difficult to stay faithful to God without being tempted. God's word is also his will. He wants his children to know that he loves them all, no matter what faults or imperfections they may have. He accepts them as they are.
"God also accepts those who were once Christians but have lost their will to continue as Christians. After a while they may have changed their minds and want to come back to God. He always accepts his children back when they repent and humble themselves to him. No one is perfect and God knows that, because he made everyone."
