“Nothing erases the past. There is repentance, there is atonement, and there is forgiveness. That is all, but that is enough.”

“Sin is the willful transgression of divine law. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is the gift of God to His children to correct and overcome the consequences of sin. The gift of the Atonement of Jesus Christ provides us at all times and at all places with the blessings of repentance and forgiveness.”

“Christ's atonement fully satisfied the demands of God's righteousness, so forgiveness and mercy are guaranteed to those who receive Christ in humble, repentant faith.”

“Rationalization for bad choices will not be effective, but repentance will. Those who repent will be particularly blessed by the Atonement.”

“Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future.”

“There is no sin, and there can be no sin on all the earth, which the Lord will not forgive to the truly repentant!”
