The Atonement

The Atonement is such an amazing thing. Without the atonement then we would never be able to live with our Father in heaven. None of us are perfect, but with the atonement we can all be made perfect. Matthew 5:48 says, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." The only way that we are able to accomplish this is through the loving atonement that Jesus Christ suffered for us. In the video Finding Faith In Christ, Thomas, one of Christ's apostles, says this, "Greater love hath no man then this, to lay up his life for his friends." Jesus Christ suffered for us, he gave his life so we all could be made perfect and live with him and our Heavenly Father once again. If we are lost, if we are confused, if we are scared or sad, turn to Christ. He is the way. He is the path in which we need to follow here on earth so we can have eternal life and live with Christ and Heavenly Father again.
