The Atonement

“If we could truly understand the

Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ,

we would realize how precious is one son

or daughter of God.” (Elder M. Russell Ballard)

The Atonement Makes It Possible for Those Who Have

Faith in Christ to Be Saved from Their Sins

“For behold, I, God, have suffered

these things for all, that

they might not suffer … even as

I” (D&C 19:16–17)

I think of his hands pierced and bleeding to

pay the debt!Such mercy, such love and

devotion can I forget?No, no, I will praise and adore at the mercy seat,

Until at the glorified throne I kneel at his feet.

Oh, it is wonderful that he should care for me

Enough to die for me! Oh, it is wonderful,

wonderful to me!

“Whoso Repenteth and Cometh Unto Me as a Little Child, Him Will I Receive”

Come UntoMe
