Day 43- Atonement Insight

Michael King wrote "The Book of Mormon emphasizes the life-giving power of the Atonement, not merely the agony of what Christ suffered. In the limited pages of this chapter, we will look to see the “glad tidings of great joy” (Mosiah 3:3) taught by the Book of Mormon prophets. Not only do they lift our minds with hope that we can receive a remission of our sins through the Atonement, but they also show us how to apply the atoning blood in our lives to allow His love and saving power to reach us. This leads us to “come unto Christ, and be perfected in him” (Moroni 10:32), that we may obtain a fullness of joy." The Book of Mormon is His word and he is the Word of God. Jesus Christ performed everything with exactness from eons of time. Thus, when we read and apply His Words and make them become part of us, we can be perfected in him and may have joy.

Day 40- Atonement Insight

President Benson explained these two ways in which the Book of Mormon is the keystone of our religion.

“The Book of Mormon is the keystone in our witness of Jesus Christ, who is Himself the cornerstone of everything we do. … Its testimony of the Master is clear, undiluted, and full of power. …

“The Book of Mormon is also the keystone of the doctrine of the Resurrection” (Ensign, Nov. 1986, pp. 5–6).

President Benson mentions that the Book of Mormon is the keystone in the witness of Jesus Christ and His atonement and resurrection. Therefore, the doctrine of the atonement and resurrection is a keystone of our religion.
