Christ’s Atonement Is Evidence of God’s Love
Prayerfully study this material and seek for inspiration to know what to share. How will understanding the purpose of Relief Society prepare daughters of God for the blessings of eternal life?
Understanding that our Heavenly Father gave His Only Begotten
Son that we might have immortality and the potential for eternal life
helps us feel of God’s infinite and incomprehensible love for us. Our Savior
also loves us.
“Who shall separate us from the love of
Christ? …
“For I am persuaded, that neither
death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things
present, nor things to come,
“Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to
separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:35, 38–39).
Of Jesus
Christ’s Atonement, Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
said: “The Savior’s suffering in Gethsemane and His agony on the cross redeem
us from sin by satisfying the demands that justice has upon us. He extends
mercy and pardons those who repent. The Atonement of Jesus Christ also
satisfies the debt justice owes to us by healing and compensating us for any
suffering we innocently endure. ‘For behold, he suffereth the pains of all men,
yea, the pains of every living creature, both men, women, and children, who
belong to the family of Adam’ (2 Nephi 9:21; see also Alma 7:11–12).”1
Christ has “graven [us] upon the palms of [His] hands” (Isaiah 49:16). Linda K. Burton, Relief Society
General President, says, “That supreme act of love ought to send each of us to
our knees in humble prayer to thank our Heavenly Father for loving us enough
that He sent His Only Begotten and perfect Son to suffer for our sins, our
heartaches, and all that seems unfair in our own individual lives.”2
