“It is my testimony that many of the deepest regrets of tomorrow can be prevented by following the Savior today. If we have sinned or made mistakes—if we have made choices that we now regret—there is the precious gift of Christ’s Atonement, through which we can be forgiven. We cannot go back in time and change the past, but we can repent. The Savior can wipe away our tears of regret and remove the burden of our sins. His Atonement allows us to leave the past behind and move forward with clean hands, a pure heart, and a determination to be better, to do better, and especially to become better.”
– Dieter F. Uchtdorf
“No one will pay any eternal price for things over which they have no control.”
– Bruce D. Porter
“The power of Christ’s love for us – and the reciprocal love we come to have for Him – is the real power of the Atonement in our daily lives. When we truly love Him, we want to serve Him and do His will. All the doubts and whys vanish away.”
– David O. McKay
“Do you think it will ever be possible for any one of us, no matter how hard we labor, or even if we should suffer martyrdom, to pay our Father and Jesus Christ for the blessings we have received from them? The great love, with its accompying blessings, extended to us through the crucifixion, suffering, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is beyond our mortal comprehension. We never could repay. We have been bought with a price beyond computation – not with gold or silver or precious stones, ‘but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish, and without spot’ (1 Peter 1:19).”
– Joseph Fielding Smith
“Know that God will accept your offering and that, through great miracles of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, He will give your heart back to you healed and whole.”

– Boyd K. Packer
“I can emphatically state that because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, ultimately, in the eternal scheme of things, there will be no unfairness. ‘All that is unfair about life can be made right.’ Our present circumstances may not change, but through God’s compassion, kindness, and love, we will all receive more than we deserve, more than we can ever earn, and more than we can ever hope for.”
– Dale G. Renlund
“Essential to the plan is our Savior, Jesus Christ. Without His atoning sacrifice, all would be lost. It is not enough, however, merely to believe in Him and His mission. We need to work and learn, search and pray, repent and improve. We need to know God’s laws and live them. We need to receive His saving ordinances. Only by so doing will we obtain true, eternal happiness.”
– Thomas S. Monson
“If the adversary should take you prisoner due to misconduct, I remind you that you hold the key that will unlock the prison door from the inside. You can be washed clean through the atoning sacrifice of the Savior Jesus Christ.”
– Boyd K. Packer
“The gospel of the Savior is not simply about avoiding bad in our lives; it also is essentially about doing good and becoming good. And the Atonement provides help for us to overcome and avoid bad and to do and become good. There is help from the Savior for the entire journey of life – from bad to good to better and to change our very nature.”
– David A. Bednar
“‘Always remember him’ … This remembrance may also bring consolation as we bear our own crosses in life – for even as Christ suffered to more perfectly know us, we suffer sometimes to know him.”
– Bruce D. Porter
“The Atonement is not only for people who have done bad things and are trying to be good. It is for good people who are trying to become better and serve faithfully and who yearn for an ongoing and mighty change of heart.”
– David A. Bednar
“However many mistakes you feel you have made or talents you think you don’t have, or however far from home and family and God you feel you have traveled, I testify that you have not traveled beyond the reach of divine love. It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light of Christ’s Atonement shines.”
– Jeffrey R. Holland
“There is no greater expression of love than the heroic Atonement performed by the Son of God.”
– M. Russell Ballard
“We are admonished by prophets and apostles to awake unto God, be ‘born again,’ and become new creatures in Christ by receiving in our lives the blessings made possible through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. The ‘merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah’ can help us triumph over the self-centered and selfish tendencies of the natural man and become more selfless, benevolent, and saintly.”
– David A. Bednar
“Now with that majestic devotion ringing from heaven as the great constant in our lives, manifested most purely and perfectly in the life, death, and Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ, we can escape the consequences of both sin and stupidity -our own or that of others- in whatever form they may come to us in the course of daily living. If we give our heart to God, if we love the Lord Jesus Christ, if we do the best we can to live the gospel, then tomorrow -and every other day- is ultimately going to be magnificent, even if we don’t always recognize it as such. Why? Because our Heavenly Father wants it to be! He wants to bless us. A rewarding, abundant, and eternal life is the very object of His merciful plan for His children! It is a plan predicated on the truth ‘that all things work together for good to them that love God.’ So keep loving. Keep trying. Keep trusting. Keep believing. Keep growing Heaven is cheering you on today, tomorrow, and forever.”
– Jeffrey R. Holland
“We embrace Christ’s healing power through our cracks and imperfections, that’s how the light gets in.”
– Tyler J. Jarvis
