Teachings of the Living Prophets: Atonement

Atonement

The Atonement is not just Christ suffering for our sins. He felt all the we have, are, and will ever feel. That is our happiness, our guilt, and our fear. Everything. He is always there. You can turn to Him no matter what and I promise He will be there. He loves you and is completely aware of you and your needs. You are never alone.

2. And because of the eternal and unfathomable Atonement of our Savior, Jesus Christ, the priesthood of God can be available even if you have stumbled or have been unworthy in the past. Through the spiritually refining and cleansing process of repentance, you can “arise and shine forth”!11 Because of the boundless, forgiving love of our Savior and Redeemer, you can lift up your eyes, become clean and worthy, and develop into righteous and noble sons of God—worthy bearers of the most sacred priesthood of Almighty God. (The Joy of the Priesthood. October 2012 General Conference. Priesthood Session. President Dieter F. Uchtdorf.)
