Calling people to repentance isn't just a commandment to end wickedness, it's a promise and a plea that is instructing them how to exit the horrible situations in life they find themselves stuck in, spiritually, socially, and so on. It is the invitation to a better life, and the quickest way and most effective path to get there. | Calling people to repentance isn't just a commandment to end wickedness, it's a promise and a plea that is instructing them how to exit the horrible situations in life they find themselves stuck in, spiritually, socially, and so on.

+ | ** Without the Atonement ** | ||
+ | |||
+ | What would it be like to not have the Atonement? I thought of a situation - what if there are two close friends who have a falling out? Without the opportunity and power of restoration, that relationship would always be fractured. There'd be no way to back to the way things were. You would be cut off forever, living with regret and sadness. |
