(Below is a list of questions and quotes that help me think about each verse as I read it. The numbers represent the verses in the chapter.)
The infinite and Eternal atonement of Jesus Christ makes salvation possible for all mankind.
8. Who did Jesus Christ perform the atonement for?
9. Who needs the atonement in order to be saved?
11. Who can atone for your sins? Why is Jesus Christ the only person who could atone for the sins of the world? What have you learned so far about the Atonement of Jesus Christ?
"His atonement is infinite – without an end. It was also infinite in that all humankind would be saved from never-ending death. It was infinite in terms of his immense suffering… It was infinite in scope – it was to be done once and for all. And the mercy of the atonement extends not only to an infinite number of people, but also to an infinite number of worlds created by Him. It was infinite beyond any human scale of measurement or mortal comprehension. Jesus was the only one who could offer such an infinite atonement, since he was born of a mortal mother and an immortal Father. Because of that unique birthright, Jesus was an infinite being." – Russell M Nelson, GC, October 1996
"According to eternal law, that atonement required a personal sacrifice by an immortal being not subject to death. Yet he must die and take up his own body again. The Savior was the only one who could accomplish this. From his mother he inherited power to die. From his Father he obtained power over death." – Russell M Nelson, GC, October 1993
