The Savior's Atonement

So we are teaching this lady here in Franklin who has been an alcoholic most of her life. Just recently she has quit drinking and is doing amazing! She now wants to follow Christ's example by being baptized by someone holding the Priesthood Authority of God. She will be baptized next month.
   Because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, this lady can be cleansed from all those sins and can start completely new? Isn't it great? We all have that same opportunity. No matter who we are or what we have done, we can turn to Jesus Christ and apply his Atonement to our own lives.
   I know that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is real and that we can truly become clean, so we will be prepared to stand before God having a clear conscience at the last day.

Today's Message

"The Lord sets His standards so that He can bless us. Think about those blessings: He promises those who meet the standards the help of the Holy Ghost. He promises personal peace. He promises the chance to receive holy ordinances in His house. And He promises those who endure in living His standards that they will have eternal life....You begin by holding up the Lord's standards clearly and without apology. and the more the world drifts from them and mocks them, the bolder we must be in doing that". -President Henry B. Eyring.

I love this quote. I know that the only way anyone can fully come to Christ and experience a fulness of happiness and joy is through the restored gospel of Jesus Christ that took place through the Prophet Joseph Smith.
