Day 82-Atonement Insights

"The gospel of the Savior is not simply about avoiding bad in our lives; it also is essentially about doing and becoming good. And the Atonement provides help for us to overcome and avoid bad and to do and become good. There is help from the Savior for the entire journey of life - from bad to good to better and to change our very nature."
- Elder David A. Bednar

The atonement is about being obedient to the commandments of God. It isn't only about repentance, but walking on the straight and narrow. We sometimes focus on the repentance aspect, but I think it is just as important to rejoice in the good such as resisting evil and choosing good. It is following principles of Jesus Christ on a daily basis such as scripture study, prayer, kindness, rendering service, etc.... This is also applying the atonement of Jesus Christ in our lives.
