Chapter 12

The Atonement
The Atonement is the great sacrifice that Christ made to pay for our sins and overcome death. It is THE most important event that has ever occurred. We could not do that for ourselves. We needed a Savior. That Savior was Christ. He went to the garden and suffered all of our sins. He bled from every single pore. He didn't stop there, he then gave his life on the cross, a most painful death, because he loves us so much. Then three days later he rose from death and made it possible for all of us to be resurrected as well. How can we do all this? By placing our faith in Christ , repenting of our sins, being baptized and receiving the Holy Ghost, then obeying his commandments. What a loving Heavenly Father we have to make that great sacrifice to send His Son to do this for the rest of us.
