The Atonement of Jesus Christ - "As used in the scriptures, to atone is to suffer the penalty for sins, thereby removing the effects of sin from the repentant sinner and allowing him or her to be reconciled to God. Jesus Christ was the only one capable of carrying out the Atonement for all mankind. Because of His Atonement, all people will be resurrected, and those who obey His gospel will receive the gift of eternal life with God." Or in other words, Jesus Christ made it possible for us to be completely forgiven for our mistakes and to be able to live again with our perfected bodies after we die. Those who obey His gospel will be able to live with God again and with their families forever. - More About Eternal Life
