The Atonement

Mosiah 3

King Benjamin continues his address—The Lord Omnipotent shall minister among men in a tabernacle of clay—Blood shall come from every pore as he atones for the sins of the world—His is the only name whereby salvation comes—Men can put off the natural man and become saints through the atonement—The torment of the wicked shall be as a lake of fire and brimstone. About 124 B.C.

I love this chapter. Especially when King Benjamin is teaching about the atonement. It offers hope to the hopeless. I believe in the atonement, but sometimes have a hard time understanding that it was for me. I need to work on that, and have more faith. More trust. I'm limiting the Lord with my little mind, and I have to take that step into just believing. This is from verse 19:

gputteth off the hnatural man and becometh a isaint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a jchild, ksubmissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him
