I love this quote! Of all the things that we need to know and to learn, the most important is knowing that Jesus Christ is our Saviour! The scriptures teach many beautiful principles and commandments that we are to follow but we need to start with understanding the atonement of Jesus Christ. When we talk of the atonement we are giving reference to Jesus Christ's shedding of blood in the garden of Gethsemane, His death on the cross and then His bodily resurrection. The only way in which we can return to live with our Father in Heaven is through this atonement. We will all be resurrected, that is a free gift given to us from Jesus Christ but in order to be forgiven for our sins we must repent. We will be forgiven for our sins to the degree in which we have faith, repent and obey God's commandments.
We make mistakes on a daily basis and we needed a way to be forgiven for those sins! We cannot be perfect ourselves but through the Atonement we can have all of our sins washed away and we can be clean. I love that scripture in Isaiah where it talks about our sins being washed away..
Come now, and let us areason together, saith the Lord: though your bsins be as scarlet, they shall be as cwhite as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. - Isaiah 1:18
I know that as we repent we will feel our sins being washed away. I know this because I have repented and continue to repent. Sometimes our sins are big and we have a hard time letting go of them but we must trust in the redeeming power of the atonement and repent and forsake our sins and then we are promised that the Lord will remember our sins no more!
I love to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ! He has done so much for every single one of us! He was the only perfect person to live on this earth and his life was a perfect example of what we can pattern our lives after. So continue on and trust in the atonement of Jesus Christ and repent!
