Elder Ulisses Soares - Jesus Christ: The Caregiver of Our Soul
As Elder Soares spoke of the atonement of Jesus Christ, he said -
"While through His sacrifice the Savior unconditionally removed the effects of physical death, He did not eliminate our personal responsibility to repent for the sins we commit. Rather, He extended to us a loving invitation to be reconciled to our Eternal Father. Through Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice, we can experience a mighty change of mind and heart, bringing a fresh attitude, both toward God and toward life in general. When we sincerely repent of our sins and turn our hearts and will to God and His commandments, we can receive His forgiveness and feel the influence of His Holy Spirit in greater abundance. Mercifully, we avoid having to experience the depth of suffering the Savior endured."
While the blessing of resurrection is fee to all, forgiveness, reconciliation, and cleansing is not. These blessings have conditions.
