Atonement



The atonement is the scarify Jesus Christ made on our behalves laying down His own life and taking upon himself all the sins of the world, He suffered great anguish all infirmities and bore the  transgressions of the world, He who was spotless paid the demands for justice then he was resurrected breaking the chains of death. We  break the laws of God leaving us exposed to the chains of death, we can not satisfy the demands of justice on our own even if we never commit a sin we would still fall short, that is why we needed a Savior and a redeemer. Only  through our Lord Jesus Christ’s sacrifice we have hope of eternal progression, our sins are washed clean and He becomes the intermediary and our advocate before the Father and through his mercy we are redeemed and our sins are forgiven.


“That great gift and blessing of the Atonement of Jesus Christ brings a universal inheritance: the promise of the Resurrection and the possibility of eternal life to all who are born.” HENRY B. EYRING  “A Priceless Heritage of Hope” April 2014, General Conference  https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2014/04/a-priceless-heritage-of-hope?lang=eng



“Godly sorrow inspires change and hope through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Worldly sorrow pulls us down, extinguishes hope, and persuades us to give in to further temptation.” DIETER F. UCHTDORF “You Can Do It Now!” October 2013, Priesthood Session https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2013/10/you-can-do-it-now?lang=eng


“Rise up and follow in the footsteps of our Redeemer and Savior, and one day you will look back and be filled with eternal gratitude that you chose to trust the Atonement and its power to lift you up and give you strength.” DIETER F. UCHTDORF “You Can Do It Now!” October 2013, Priesthood Session  https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2013/10/you-can-do-it-now?lang=eng


“With our heart and soul we yearn to become better with the help of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.”  DIETER F. UCHTDORF  “Come, Join with Us” October 2013,  General Confererence   https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2013/10/come-join-with-us?lang=eng


"Jesus Christ, the Son of God He is the Only Begotten of the Father. He is He who was slain and He who liveth again. He is our Advocate with the Father." BOYD K. PACKER “The Witness” April 2014, General Conference  https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2014/04/the-witness?lang=eng


“The Savior met another test on Golgotha, where He could have called upon legions of angels to take Him down from the cross, but He made His own choice to obediently endure to the end and complete His atoning sacrifice, even though it meant great suffering, even death.” ROBER D. HALES "If you love me Keep My Commandments" April 2014, General Conference https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2014/04/if-ye-love-me-keep-my-commandments?lang=eng


“Christ endured. Upon Him the burden of all human transgression, all human guilt… the Atonement. Through His willing act, mercy and justice could be reconciled, eternal law sustained, and that mediation achieved without which mortal man could not be redeemed.” BOYD K. PACKER “Atonement, Agency Accountability” April 1988, General Conference  https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1988/04/atonement-agency-accountability?lang=eng


“There is no greater expression of love than the heroic Atonement performed by the Son of God. Were it not for the plan of our Heavenly Father, established before the world began, in a very real sense, all mankind—past, present, and future—would have been left without the hope of eternal progression. As a result of Adam’s transgression, mortals were separated from God (see Rom. 6:23) and would be forever unless a way was found to break the bands of death. This would not be easy, for it required the vicarious sacrifice of one who was sinless and who could therefore take upon Himself the sins of all mankind.” M. RUSSELL BALLARD “The Atonement and the Value of One Soul” April 2004, General Conference  https://www.lds.org/ensign/2004/05/the-atonement-and-the-value-of-one-soul


“When we break a law, there is nothing left over from prior obedience to satisfy the demands of justice for that broken law. The Savior’s Atonement permits us to repent of any disobedience and thereby avoid the penalties that justice would have imposed.”  RICHARD G. SCOTT “He Lives All Glory to his Name” April 2010, General Conference  https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2010/04/he-lives-all-glory-to-his-name?lang=eng


“Pondering the grandeur of the Atonement evokes the most profound feelings of awe, immense gratitude, and deep humility. Those impressions can provide you powerful motivation to keep His commandments and consistently repent of errors for greater peace and happiness.” RICHARD G. SCOTT “The Atonement Can Secure Your Peace and Happiness” October 2006, General Conference  https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2006/10/the-atonement-can-secure-your-peace-and-happiness?lang=eng


“We are not and never need be alone. We can press forward in our daily lives with heavenly help. Through the Savior’s Atonement we can receive capacity and “strength beyond [our] own” DAVID A. BEDNAR “Bear Up Their Burdens with Ease” April 2014, General Conference  https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2014/04/bear-up-their-burdens-with-ease?lang=eng


"The Atonement of Jesus Christ makes possible our becoming more like our Father in Heaven so that we can live together eternally in our family units."
