Sin is the willful transgression of divine law. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is the gift of God to His children to correct and overcome the consequences of sin. The gift of the Atonement of Jesus Christ provides us at all times and at all places with the blessings of repentance and forgiveness.
Dieter F. UchtdorfThere is an important difference between the sorrow for sin that leads to repentance and the sorrow that leads to despair.
Dieter F. UchtdorfOften the deep valleys of our PRESENT will be UNDERSTOOD only by LOOKING BACK on them from the mountains of our FUTURE experience. Often we canโt see the LORDโS HAND in our lives until long after the trials have passed. Often the most difficult times of our lives are ESSENTIAL building blocks that form the FOUNDATION of our CHARACTER and pave the way to FUTURE opportunity, understanding, and happiness.
Dieter F. UchtdorfThe one help we all need is given to us freely though the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Having faith in Jesus Christ and In His Atonement means relying completely on Him-trusting in His infinite power, intelligence, and love.
Dieter F. UchtdorfThere is nothing mysterious about the principles of the gospel. We have studied them in the scriptures, we have discussed them in Sunday School, and we have heard them from the pulpit many times. These divine principles and values are straightforward and clear; they are beautiful, profound, and powerful; and they can definitely help us to avoid future regrets.
Dieter F. UchtdorfWe sometimes confuse sin with sinner, and we condemn too quickly and with too little compassion. We know from modern revelation that โthe worth of souls is great in the sight of God.โ We cannot gauge the worth of another soul any more than we can measure the span of the universe.
