Alma 12:15, "But this cannot be; we must come forth and stand before him in his glory, and in his power, and in his might, majesty, and dominion, and acknowledge to our everlasting ashame that all his bjudgments are just; that he is just in all his works, and that he is merciful unto the children of men, and that he has all power to save every man that believeth on his name and bringeth forth fruit meet for repentance."
As I was reading this scripture, I was overwhelmed with gratitude for the magnitude of the atonement. The atonement encompasses all mankind. It also makes me sad when people don't choose to utilize the power of the atonement. When we choose to utilize the atonement, miracles can happen in our lives.
