The Atonement

1.) "The Savior’s Atonement is a gift for everyone." (Quentin L. Cook, In Tune with the Music of Faith, April 2012, http://www.lds.org)

2.) "A testimony of that truth has increased my determination to qualify myself and those I love for the highest degree of the celestial kingdom through the Atonement of Jesus Christ working in our lives." (Henry B. Eyring, He Is Risen, April 2013, Ensign)

3.) "No one else could effect the Atonement. No other person, even with the greatest wealth and power, could ever save one soul-not even his own. And no other individual will be required or permitted to shed blood for the eternal salvation of another human being. Jesus did it "once and for all"." (Russell M. Nelson, The Mission and Ministry of Jesus Christ, April 2013, Liahona)

4.) "The Atonement of Jesus Christ gives us the opportunity to have the blessings of eternal life." (Dallin H. Oaks, Why is Jesus Christ So Important to Us?, March 2013, Friend)

5.) "But if you go for the Lord to bless others, He will see and reward it. If you do this often enough and long enough, you will feel a change in your very nature through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Not only will you feel closer to Him, but you will also feel more and more that you are becoming like Him." (Henry B. Eyring, Where Is the Pavilion?, November 2012, Liahona)

6.) "If you have made no mistakes, then you do not need the Atonement. If you have made mistakes, and all of us have, whether minor or serious, then you have an enormous need to find out how they can be erased so that you are no longer in darkness." (Boyd K. Packer, The Atonement, November 2012, Liahona)

7.) "Christian sacrifice. Throughout His life the Savior gave of His time, His energy, and ultimately, through the Atonement, gave Himself so that all of God's children could be resurrected and have the opportunity to inherit eternal life." (Robert D. Hales, Being a More Christian Christian, November 2012, Liahona)

8.) "This glorious doctrine is another witness of all-encompassing nature of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. He made salvation available to every repentant soul. His Atonement conquered death, and He permits the worthy deceased to receive all ordinances of salvation vicariously." (Richard G. Scott, The Joy of Redeeming the Dead, November 2012, Liahona)

9.) "The Atonement of Jesus Christ is the gift of God to His children to correct and overcome the consequences of sin. God loves all of His children, and He will never cease to love and to hope for us." (Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Is There a Point of No Return?, June 2012, New Era)

10.) "I suspect that many Church members are much more familiar with the nature of redeeming and cleansing power of the Atonement that they are with the strengthening and enabling power. It is one thing to know that Jesus Christ came to earth to die for us-that is fundamental and foundational to the doctrine of Christ. But we also need to appreciate that the Lord desires, through His Atonement and by the power of the Holy Ghost, to live in us-not only to direct us but also to empower us." (David A. Bednar, The Atonement and The Journey of Mortality, April 2012, http://www.lds.org)
