The Atonement

“There is no greater evidence of the infinite power and perfection of God’s love than is declared by the Apostle John: ‘For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son’ (John 3:16). Another Apostle wrote that God ‘spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all’ (Romans 8:32). Think how it must have grieved our Heavenly Father to send His Son to endure incomprehensible suffering for our sins. That is the greatest evidence of His love for each of us!”-Dallin H. Oaks.

I really like this quote, it lets me know that our Father in Heaven loves us so much that we can't even imagine. There is a scripture in the New Testament that illustrates how good our Heavenly Father is to us.

"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"(Matt 7:11) He gave us his Son do that we would be able to return to him.
