tyler90az Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) My favorite scripture chapters on the Atonement are Isaiah 53 and Mosiah 14----[media=] It may be hard to understand all the injustices of the world right now. What we can rely on is the atonement until we can understand fully. The atonement can strengthen us till that beautiful day when we know why the injustices occurred. There is, indeed, a reason why injustices occur. If we can just rely on the atonement and remember that God's ways are higher then ours a new day will come. That new day is the glorious day in which we return to the right hand of God. At the right hand of God we will have a complete knowledge of all injustice. The atonement will have proven to swallow up any injustices and make them hundredfold beneficial. We can then declare injustice was just a brief sojourn on the way to glory beyond what our mortal minds can understand.What are your favorite scriptures on the atonement?

CASteinman Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 I don't know if I would attach the word "favorite" to this but I think of it often when the word atonement comes up:D&C 19.Also the talk "The Mediator" by Boyd K Packer. 1
Rivers Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) John 17: 20-24 20 ¶ Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. This helps explain what the word "atonement" means. It's about Christ helping us to become "at one" with Him and God the Father. Edited March 30, 2013 by Rivers 1

Wanderer7 Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Isaiah 49:13-1613 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the Lord hath comforted his people,and will have mercy upon his afflicted. 14 But Zion said, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. 15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget,yet will I not forget thee. 16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. 1

Bernard Gui Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) Although John 3:16 has been trivialized, 14-21 is still one of my favorites: 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

changed Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) (Old Testament | Isaiah 35:3 - 10)3 ¶ Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
