Atonement

Mission Statement 

There are no words that I could express that would compensate for the gratitude I feel for our Savior’s atoning sacrifice. He wants us so desperately to come live with Him again, he wants us to be happy and in our forever families for the eternities. He paid the price for all our sins, heartache, loneliness, and ailments. I agree with the apostles when they express their amazement at the extreme amounts of love our Savior must have for us, it is humbling. I know that the Atonement is real and that it can heal our spiritual wounds and breaking hearts. It is such a precious gift He has given us. I am incredibly grateful for my Savior and the love he has for me. Through him, I can be with my family forever. 

Finding Forgivness

Elder Richard G. Scott 

April 1995 General Conference “Finding Forgiveness”

https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1995/04/finding-forgiveness?lang=eng

“Each of us has made mistakes, large or small, which if unresolved will keep us from the presence of God. For this reason, the atonement of Jesus Christ is the single most significant event that ever has or ever will occur. This selfless act of infinite consequence, performed by a single glorified personage, has eternal impact in the life of every son and daughter of our Father in Heaven—without exception.”

President Hinckley's Testimony

Gordon B Hinckley 

October 1993 General Conference “My Testimony”

https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1993/10/my-testimony?lang=eng 

“I cannot be grateful enough for the Atonement wrought by my Savior and my Redeemer. Through His sacrifice at the culmination of a life of perfection, that sacrifice offered in pain unspeakable, the bonds of death were broken, and the resurrection of all became assured.”

The Mediator

Elder Boyd K. Packer 

April 1977 General Conference “The Mediator”

https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1977/04/the-mediator?lang=eng

“Truth, glorious truth, proclaims there is ... a Mediator. Through Him mercy can be fully extended to each of us without offending the eternal law of justice. This truth is the very root of Christian doctrine. You may know much about the gospel as it branches out from there, but if you only know the branches and those branches do not touch that root, if they have been cut free from that truth, there will be no life nor substance nor redemption in them.”

Elder L. Tom Perry 

April 2012 General Conference “The Power of Deliverance”

https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2012/04/the-power-of-deliverance?lang=eng

“His Atonement and Resurrection provide all of us an escape from physical death and, if we repent, an escape from spiritual death, bringing with it the blessings of eternal life. ”

The Reward of Righteousness

Elder Quentin L. Cook 

2013 April General Conference “Personal Peace: The Reward of Righteousness”

Ensign January 2014 First Presidency Message “The Best Time to Plant a Tree”

https://www.lds.org/ensign/2014/01/the-best-time-to-plant-a-tree?lang=eng

“The gospel, through the miraculous and compassionate Atonement of Jesus Christ, shows us the way to cleanse our souls of the stain of sin and once again become new, pure, and as innocent as a child.”

Four Titles

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf 

April 2013 General Conference “Four Titles”

https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2013/04/four-titles?lang=eng

“Without the Atonement of Jesus Christ, life would be a dead-end road without hope or future. With the Atonement, life is an ennobling, inspiring journey of growth and development that leads to eternal life in the presence of our Heavenly Father.”

The Atonement

Elder Boyd K. Packer 

2012 October General Conference “The Atonement”

https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2012/10/the-atonement?lang=eng

“We do not know exactly how the Lord accomplished the Atonement. But we do know that the cruel torture of crucifixion was only part of the horrific pain which began in Gethsemane—that sacred site of suffering—and was completed on Golgotha.”

Willing to Submit

"The wondrous and glorious Atonement was the central act in all of human history. It was the hinge on which all else that finally matters turned. But it turned upon Jesus’ spiritual submissiveness!"

Neal A. Maxwell
April 1985 General Conference "Willing to Submit"

Divine Love

Elder Jeffrey R Holland 

Christ and the New Covenant

 “The central fact, the crucial foundation, the chief doctrine, and the greatest expression of divine love in the eternal plan of salvation—truly a 'plan of happiness,' as Alma called it—is the atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
