Isaiah 63:7-9
7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.
9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
Jesus, our Redeemer, constantly demonstrated lovingkindness. His supreme love and kindness came to a summit on two occasions in two places:
(1) While suffering and bleeding from every pore when in Gethsemane
(2) While bleeding and dying when on the cruel Cross
Jesus suffered, bled and died, sacrificing His life for all humankind and all living things. He shed His blood in the perfect atonement so that we might be forgiven of our sins and gain eternal life.
How do we gain access to the Power of the Atonement?
- Put God first: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me”
- Exercise faith in Christ
- Repent
- Be worthily baptized by proper authority
- Receive the gift of the Holy Ghost
- Make and keep sacred covenants in the temple
- Obey all God’s commandments
- Be meek and humble
- Pray 100% perfectly honest prayers
- Praise the Lord with all our hearts
- Be perfectly honest and upright at all times
- Serve others with love
- Acknowledge God’s hand in all things
- Always be temple worthy
Jesus is the author and finisher of our salvation through His perfect atonement
