To be redeemed is to be atoned—received in the close embrace of God with an expression not only of His forgiveness, but of our oneness of heart and mind. What a privilege!
All that the Fall allowed to go awry, the Atonement allowed to go aright.
The Creation required the Fall. The Fall required the Atonement. The Atonement enabled the purpose of the Creation to be accomplished. Eternal life, made possible by the Atonement, is the supreme purpose of the Creation.
Elder Russell M. Nelson - October 1996 General Conference "The Atonement"
