Enoch saw the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ and connected it to his own sanctification and that of his people. Like subsequent prophets, he saw the Atonement of Jesus Christ as a manifestation of God's love that defied temporal constraints, blessing him and the people he loved millennia before it happened.
Unto All Who Would Repent
Joseph F. Smith learned that our state in the spirit world is not permanently fixed. The righteous continue preaching the gospel, and the wicked can still accept the gospel and receive the healing power of Jesus Christ, whether they are learning about the gospel for the first time or whether they have previously rejected it.
Adam-ondi-Ahman
Adam-ondi-Ahman is both a place and a state of reconciliation with God. Through Adam's fall, our connection with God was severed, but Adam's reunion with God at the end of his life and his future meeting with God at the Second Coming remind us that Jesus Christ can restore us to God's presence.
Our Emerging Redemption
The Atonement of Jesus Christ can uplift and purify us today, as Alma and King Benjamin's people can testify. This "preparatory redemption" foreshadows the perfected redemption promised in Doctrine and Covenants 45, when every wound is healed and every obstacle to our eternal joy has been removed.
“What Are These Wounds?”
Zechariah foresaw a man bearing wounds which he received “in the house of [His] friends.” The Savior's wounds raise the question: What scars have we unknowingly inflicted on our loved ones? Fortunately, He can heal every wound, including the pain we sometimes cause to those we love the most.
The Joy of Our Redemption
Eve recognized that the Fall and the Savior's Atonement enabled her and Adam to experience "the joy of our redemption." This joy is not limited to a future event. As Sister Kristin M. Yee has testified, the Savior's redemptive power can be active in our lives every day.
“The Robe of Righteousness: The Savior’s Gifts in Isaiah 61”
Isaiah 61 describes the Messiah’s mission to heal, liberate, and uplift. He replaces mourning with joy and “the spirit of heaviness” with “the garment of praise.” Nephi referenced this chapter when he prayed, "Wilt thou encircle me around in the robe of thy righteousness!" The Savior can replace our sadness with a robe of righteousness.
“Sweet Evidence”
Mormon taught that we must be clean to experience miracles. Jacob testified that this is possible through God's grace. The Book of Mormon and modern revelation testify that assurance of God's favor often precedes new revelation. The companionship of the Holy Ghost is evidence that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is working in our lives.
“I Will Drink of the Fruit of the Vine with You”
At the Last Supper, Jesus promised to partake of the sacrament again with His disciples. A revelation to Joseph Smith expanded on this future event, naming twelve ancient prophets who will join Him. All of God's children, past, present, and future, need Christ’s grace. The sacrament symbolizes His universal Atonement.
Entangled Again
The Articles and Covenants of the Church begin with a personal story. After being forgiven, Joseph Smith was "entangled again in the vanities of the world." He repented and was forgiven again. When we humbly repent, God will set us free, even when our sins seem insurmountable.
