“I suspect that many
Church members are much more familiar with the nature of the redeeming and
cleansing power of the Atonement than they are with the strengthening and
enabling power. It is one thing to know that Jesus Christ came to earth to die for us—that is fundamental and
foundational to the doctrine of Christ. But we also need to appreciate that the
Lord desires, through His Atonement and by the power of the Holy Ghost, to live in us—not only to direct us but
also to empower us.”
Elder David A. Bednar, “The Atonement and the Journey of
Mortality,” Ensign, Apr. 2012, 42. From a devotional address given at Brigham
Young University on October 23, 2001.
