Jesus's Atonement: The Reconciliation

“Christ died for us. …
“We were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
“And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement” (Rom. 5:8, 10–11; italics added).
Joy cometh through our Savior, Jesus Christ because of His atonement. "Man is that he might have joy" (2 Nephi 2;25),  and this joy is available to the obedient.

See Atonement-Agency-Accountability, by Elder Boyd K. Packer, for Elder Packer's entire discourse.
