Alma 19

"As many as heard his words believed, and were converted unto the Lord.

"But there were many among them who would not hear his words; therefore they went their way.

". . . Their hearts had been changed; that they had no more desire to do evil" (31-33).

Hearing is an active thing. You have to be willing to listen. Doing so softens and opens your heart to the Spirit. It allows for conversion to occur. When you are converted and your hearts have been changed, then you have no more desire to do evil. I think we should all aim for such a conversion that you no longer have any desire to do evil. Being converted is something that is to be done constantly. It's something you constantly maintain.

Elder Richard G. Scott quoted Marion G. Romney as saying:

“Converted means to turn from one belief or course of action to another. Conversion is a spiritual and moral change. Converted implies not merely mental acceptance of Jesus and his teachings but also a motivating faith in him and his gospel. A faith which works a transformation, an actual change in one’s understanding of life’s meaning and in his allegiance to God in interest, in thought, and in conduct. In one who is really wholly converted, desire for things contrary to the gospel of Jesus Christ has actually died. And substituted therefore is a love of God, with a fixed and controlling determination to keep his commandments.” (Full Conversion Brings Happiness).
