Day 10-Atonement Insight

2 Nephi 31: 19-20 "And now, my beloved brethren, after ye have gotten into this strait and narrow ^apath, I would ask if all is ^bdone? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken ^cfaith in him, ^drelying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to ^esave.

Wherefore, ye must press forward with a ^asteadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of ^bhope, and a ^clove of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and ^dendure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have ^eeternal life." Nephi taught once we enter the straight and narrow through baptism, we are not done. He continued to teach that we need to have unshaken faith and rely entirely on the atonement. It is only through the merits of Christ that we may be saved. It is interesting that Nephi discusses the first principles of the gospel which are Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and Repentance. Then, he further discuses love of God and all men.

Day 8- Atonement Insight

Stephen Robinson stated, "I have learned there are many that believe Jesus is the Son of God and that he is the Savior of the World, but that he cannot save them. They believe in his identity, but not in his power to cleanse and to purify and to save. To have faith in his identity is only half the process. To have faith in his ability, in his power to cleanse and to save, that is the other half." We must believe Christ when he says in Isaiah 1:18, "though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." Christ does wash away our sins through his blood, and they can become as white as snow if we have faith in him. We can be cleansed and pure again.
