"And moreover, I say unto you, that salvation doth not come by the law alone; and were it not for the atonement, which God himself shall make for the sins and iniquities of his people, that they must unavoidably perish..." (Mosiah 13:28)
One of the most beautiful points of the Gospel is the idea that in spite of our imperfections, each of us still has the chance to return to live with our Father in Heaven again. Through the Atoning Sacrifice that was made by our Savior, we are not condemned to an eternity removed from His presence the first time we err. Instead, we have the chance to take upon ourselves His name, to emulate the life He lived. And as we choose to follow Him, He will do all things necessary to make it possible for us to safely cross the formidable chasm between where we are today and our Father's presence. Though words are not adequate to express my feelings, I am truly thankful to my Savior for the role He played in the Plan of Salvation on my behalf.
