ATONEMENT

1. Always remember, with the Saviors help, you can break free from addiction. It may
be a long, difficult path, but the Lord will not give up on you. He loves you. Jesus
Christ suffered the Atonement to help you change, to free you from the captivity of
sin.

2. I testify that the cleansing power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and the
transformative power of the Holy Ghost can heal and rescue mankind. It is our
privilege, our sacred duty, and our joy to heed the Saviors call to follow Him with a
willing mind and full purpose of heart. Let us shake off the chains with which [we]
are bound, and come forth out of obscurity, and arise from the dust.

3. The Atonement of His Beloved Son enabled both of the Fathers objectives to be
fulfilled. Without the Atonement, there would be no immortality. Without the
Atonement, there would be no return to the presence of the Father and no
continuation of the family beyond the grave.

4. The Savior will take upon Himself the consequences of your sins as you repent now.
If that is not done, in time you will have to suffer for them yourself.

5. Complete healing will come through your faith in Jesus Christ and His power and
capacity, through His Atonement, to heal the scars of that which is unjust and
undeserved.

6. Whenever we disobey, we spiritually paint ourselves into a corner and are captive to
our choices. Though we are spiritually stuck, there is always a way back. Like
repentance, turning around and walking across a newly varnished floor means more

worka lot of resanding and refinishing! Returning to the Lord isnt easy, but it is
worth it.

7. We are not and never need be alone. We can press forward in our daily lives with
heavenly help. Through the Saviors Atonement we can receive capacity and
strength beyond [our] own (Lord, I Would Follow Thee, Hymns, no. 220). As the
Lord declared, Therefore, continue your journey and let your hearts rejoice; for
behold, and lo, I am with you even unto the end (D&C 100:12).

8. Not only does the Atonement of Jesus Christ overcome the effects of the Fall of
Adam and make possible the remission of our individual sins and transgressions, but
His Atonement also enables us to do good and become better in ways that stretch far
beyond our mortal capacities.

9. Our theology begins with heavenly parents. Our highest aspiration is to be like them.
Under the merciful plan of the Father, all of this is possible through the atonement of
the Only Begotten of the Father, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

10. For His Atonement to be infinite and eternal, He had to feel what it was like to die
not only physically but spiritually, to sense what it was like to have the divine Spirit
withdraw, leaving one feeling totally, abjectly, hopelessly alone. But Jesus held on.
