Jesus’ Atonement affects Eternity Past to Eternity Future
"One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ."
--John 1:40-41
--John 1:40-41
Andrew, Peter’s brother, locates Simon and testifies unto him, “We have found the Messias” (Messiah). Messiah interpreted means ‘the Christ.’ These men had a testimony of Jesus called the Messiah, that He was the Savior of the world. They learned that Jesus would suffer and provide the infinite atonement for all mankind. The Messiah’s atonement affects all people and all created things from eternity past to eternity future. There isn’t any person or thing that the atonement doesn’t influence. The atonement of the Messiah is real and powerful. We access the power of the atonement when we repent, live righteously, and strive to keep all God’s commandments. The motto, “Put God First” is a sure success formula in this lifetime and will assure happiness now and eternal joy forever in the mansions of heaven. Jesus Christ is the Messiah.
