Atonements of jesus christ

The atonement of Jesus Christ is one of the greatest gifts we could ever be given. Jesus’ role in our lives is "to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. " Through the atonement, Jesus Christ gives us a way to repent for our sins and to return to live with our Heavenly Father in a perfect state. Through the atonement, man can find hope and peace in knowing that any pain we feel has been felt by our redeemer and Savior Jesus Christ. A testimony in the atonement is a basic Mormon belief.
The American Heritage Dictionary defines atonement as “amends or reparation made for an injury or wrong.” Jesus Christ was a perfect man. He was completely free of sin. Yet, He was crucified. He made amends for our injury and our wrong. He paid the price for our sin. He was literally a sacrifice made unto God for us. The atonement of Jesus Christ was part of God’s plan for the world, or plan of salvation as it is referred to by Mormons. Mormons believe that Jesus volunteered to be the savior of the world in the pre-existence.
Adam and Eve were sent to earth and lived in a state of innocence and perfection. When Adam and Eve were living on earth, an atonement was unneccessary because there was no sin. When Eve partook of the fruit, the world became an imperfect place, filled with sin. We became subject to pain, illness, and death. In order for us to have redemption and eternal life, an infinite atonement was required. Heavenly Father realized that people are imperfect and they are going to make mistakes. We need help on earth. There is no way that man would be able to make it back to the Kingdom of God on His own. And we cannot become perfect on our own. Divine intervention is required. Without Christ’s resurrection we would have died in our sins and would have been subject to the same fate as Satan
