Blessings of the Atonement


Lehi’s Dream: Holding Fast to the Rod

David A. Bednar
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

The fruit on the tree is a symbol for the blessings of the Atonement. Partaking of the fruit of the tree represents the receiving of ordinances and covenants whereby the Atonement can become fully efficacious in our lives. The fruit is described as “desirable to make one happy” (1 Nephi 8:10) and produces great joy and the desire to share that joy with others.
