A elder in my district let me borrow a book called Believing Christ. It has really changed me and has helped me understand the atonement so much more! I still have a lot more to learn about the atonement though. But I wanted to share something from the book. It talks about the authors daughter. His 7 year old daughter wants a bike so he says ok save up coins and we will go get you a bike. So she starts working really hard around the house doing chores. A few weeks later he hears her putting coins in a jar. She says, "Daddy I am ready to go get my bike!" They got to some bike stores and she sees the one she has been dreaming for. She hops on it super excited with a huge smile on her face. then she looks at the price tag and her smile fades. She starts crying saying, "Daddy I will never get a bike!" He hugs her and asks her how much money she has she pulls the change from her pocket and it counted up to be 74 cents. The bike was over $150. He told her, "Let's make a deal, you give me all your money, hug and a big kiss and I will pay for the rest."
This story really touched me. This is the same love and mercy Christ has for us. This showed me how merciful Christ. That if we give our all he will pay the rest. We can't do it our selves we can not be perfect through our own efforts only through Christ grace and mercy can we be perfected.
I love you all! I highly recommend this book!
