As I did the research for the atonement quotes there was lots of information to learn and understand. In reading the talks and finding the things that I liked best it was hard to narrow it down to the ones I have chosen.  The quotes I have used are my favorite ones. There is lots of information about the atonement and all it can do for you. I believe that without the atonement our world would be a very different world.  I appreciate the fact that the Lord was willing to let us make choices instead of just telling us what to do and expecting us to follow what we are told.  I think we would be like robots just doing what we are told.  We wouldn't be able to really enjoy our time on earth. I am grateful for the Lords wisdom and the opportunity to learn about the atonement.
