This verse gives me great hope in life. I know that Jesus Christ lives
and that he did perform the atonement. In the book of Alma in the Book
of Mormon. The great missionary Amulek teaches this same truth. He
said, "For it is expedient that an atonement should be made; for
according to the great plan of the Eternal God there must be an
atonement made, or else all mankind must unavoidably perish; yea, all
are hardened; yea, all are fallen and are lost, and must perish except
it be through the atonement which it is expedient should be made. Alma
34:9" Amulek understood the need of our Savior. I testify that we need
a Savior as well. I testify that Jesus Christ is that savior that made
an atonement for us; to make up the difference for when we fall short.
To soften us when we become hardened to the influence of the Holy
Ghost.
I testify that Christ lives and that he is the way and the life.
