II Nephi 2:6-7 (Book of Mormon)
6 Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah; for he is full of grace and truth.
7 Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit; and unto none else can the ends of the law be answered.
Redemption, freedom from sin and guilt, is possible because of Jesus Christ, the Holy Messiah. He is grace and truth. Grace is His divine assistance, His infinite power and ability to forgive sins and to have total knowledge of us and our concerns. He even known our thoughts, intentions, desires, and motives. He desires us to come unto him and find relief and comfort in Him.
Jesus sacrificed himself for our sins, for our human errors and ways. He knew that we couldn’t make it by ourselves; therefore, our Father designed a plan that would send a Savior to the earth to compensate for what we couldn’t do after all we could do for ourselves. We can repent with Godly sorrow, but it takes a Savior, a Redeemer, even the Messiah to make repentance and forgiveness complete. So God the Father sent His Only Begotten Son, Jesus, to be the Great Atoner. We must offer up to God a broken (repentant) heart, and a contrite (obedient) spirit. God and Christ will do for us what it is impossible for us to do alone.
