There are only two elements that separate us from the Holy Spirit

I have been studying more of the talk that was given by Elder Bushe referenced in my last post and found the following quote:

"Paul declared to the Romans the indispensable need to live our lives by faith, as he says: "For whatsoever is not of faith is sin" (Romans 14:23). The original word in the Bible for the word sin is hamartia. The word hamartia means "missing the mark," deriving from the sport of archery. In modern English we would probably call it "shooting an air ball." When we do not do everything in our life in faith or, in other words, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, we are missing the mark. We are off target. When we are off target, we will not feel the confidence and joy and power of the Holy Spirit, and, therefore, we will have to learn to direct our desires toward repentance--we must change to bring us back on target. In my humble understanding, it can be said that there are only two elements that separate us from the Holy Spirit: First, our lack of desire to repent, and, second, our lack of desire to forgive."
