Unmet Needs

"Jesus saw sin as wrong but also was able to see sin as springing from deep unmet needs on the part of the sinner. This permitted him to condemn the sin without condemning the individual."


President Spencer W. Kimball Aug. 1983, "Jesus: The Perfect Leader" 

The Value of One Soul

"If we could truly understand the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ, we would realize how precious is one son or daughter of God."


M. Russell Ballard, Oct. 2004, General Conference "The Atonement and the Value of One Soul"

Th Gift

"No man knows the full weight of what our Savior bore, but by the power of the Holy Ghost we can know something of the supernal gift He gave us. <sup>"


James E. Faust, Oct. 2001, General Conference "The Atonement: Our Greatest Hope"</sup>

Closer to Him

"Understanding what we can of the Atonement and the Resurrection of Christ helps us to obtain a knowledge of Him and of His mission.  Any increase in our understanding of His atoning sacrifice draws us closer to Him. Literally, the Atonement means to be “at one” with Him. The nature of the Atonement and its effects is so infinite, so unfathomable, and so profound that it lies beyond the knowledge and comprehension of mortal man. I am profoundly grateful for the principle of saving grace. Many people think they need only confess that Jesus is the Christ and then they are saved by grace alone. We cannot be saved by grace alone, 'for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do.'"


James E. Faust, Oct. 2001, General Conference "The Atonement: Our Greatest Hope"

Continual Effort

"Our salvation depends on believing in and accepting the Atonement. Such acceptance requires a continual effort to understand it more fully."


James E. Faust, Oct. 2001, General Conference "The Atonement: Our Greatest Hope"

Daily Repentance

"Repentance becomes part of our daily lives. Our weekly taking of the sacrament is so important—to come meekly, humbly before the Lord, acknowledging our dependence upon Him, asking Him to forgive and to renew us, and promising to always remember Him."


Neil L. Andersen, Oct. 2009, General Conference "That I May Heal You"

Turn Back

"When we sin, we turn away from God. When we repent, we turn back toward God."


Neil L. Andersen, Oct. 2009, General Conference "That I May Heal You"

Successful Life

"Our understanding of and faith in the Atonement of Jesus Christ will provide strength and capacity needed for a successful life."


Richard G. Scott, Apr. 2010, General Conference "He Lives! All Glory to His Name"

Put the Past Behind You

"We access the Atonement through repentance. When we repent, the Lord allows us to put the mistakes of the past behind us."


C. Scott Grow, Apr. 2011, General Conference "The Miracle of the Atonement"

The Healing Power

"There is no sin or transgression, pain or sorrow, which is outside of the healing power of His Atonement."


C. Scott Grow, Apr. 2011, General Conference "The Miracle of the Atonement"

Consolation

"The Lord’s tender mercies are the very personal and individualized blessings, strength, protection, assurances, guidance, loving-kindnesses, consolation, support, and spiritual gifts which we receive from and because of and through the Lord Jesus Christ." 


David A. Bednar, Apr. 2005, "The Tender Mercies of The Lord"
