Atonement Quotes

This is just a collection of quotes that I have found so far about the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and my thoughts about some of them.


Quotes (PMG= Preach My Gospel)
PMG 'Because of the fall.. we all have imperfect, mortal bodies, and we will eventually die.. If not for the Savior Jesus Christ, death would end all hope for a future existence with Heavenly Father.'
'As with physical death, we cannot overcome the effects of sin by ourselves.., we are helpless without the Atonement of Jesus Christ.'  pg 50

PMG 'As your understanding of the Atonement of Jesus Christ grows, your desire to share the gospel will increase.  You will fell, as Lehi did, 'the great importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth.' (2 Ne 2:8)  pg 2
 - I love this quote!  Not only does it apply to missionary work, and it was because of the Atonement I really wanted to serve a mission, but to each of us as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  As members of his true church we should have a burning desire to share the great news that Christ lives, and he made it possible for us live with our Heavenly Father again, and our families for eternity.  And that was made possible through the restoration of the fullness of Christ's gospel on the earth.  I feel soo blessed!

PMG 'Families torn by discord can be healed through repentance, forgiveness, and faith in the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.' pg 3
-Boy do so many families need this in our world today.

PMG 'Through the Atonement we can be freed from the burden of our sins and develop faith and strength to face our trials' pg 32

Pres Boyd K. Packer "For some reason, we think the Atonement of Christ applies only at the end of mortal life, to redemption of the fall, from spiritual death, it is much more than that.  It is an ever-present power to call upon in everyday life.  When we are racked or harrowed up or tormented by guilt, or burdened with grief, he can heal us.  While we do not fully understand how the Atonement of Jesus Christ was made, we can experience the peace of God Which passeth all understanding."

Pres Henry B. Eyring "Through the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, our natures can be changed.  Then our power to carry burdens can be increased more than enough to compensate for the increased service we will be asked to give."

Elder Bruce C. Hafen "Sometimes we say that no other success can compensate for our failures in the home.  And while it is true that no other success of ours can fully compensate, there is a success that compensates for all our failures, after all we can do in good faith.  That success is the Atonement of Jesus Christ.  By its power we may rise from the  ashes of life filled with incomprehensible beauty and joy."

PMG 'The restored gospel enables you to become like Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.  The Savior has shown the way.  He has set the perfect example, and He commands us to become as He is ( see 3 Ne 27:27).  Learn of Him and seek to incorporate His attributes into your life.  Through the power of His Atonement, you can achieve this goal and lead other to achieve it also.'  pg 115

"Considering the incomprehensible cost of the Crucifixion and Atonement, I promise you He is not going to turn His back on us now. When He says to the poor in spirit, “Come unto me,” He means He knows the way out and He knows the way up. He knows it because He has walked it. He knows the way because He is the way."
~Jeffery R. Holland  -All I can say is WOW!  This is from Broken Things to Mend an amazing talk about Trials and the Atonement.
