CompensatingPowerofChrist

As we turn to Christ, the parts of our life that are broken because of sin can be redeemed through repentance, and the parts that are not our fault will be redeemed through Christ’s compensating power.

"How does Christ's Atonement help us achieve our purpose, and what does Christ expect of us to enact that purpose? Often we think about the Atonement in terms of Christ rescuing us from something rather than Christ helping us to become something (p. 39)."

"'To save' means to protect, to rescue, to keep safe. In other words, Christ's saving grace compensates for everything that is a result of the fallen world, including misfortunes and situations beyond our control (p. 11)."

"Application of Christ's atonement: 1- resurrecting power 2-forgiving power 3-purifying power 4-comforting power 5-healing power 6-strengthening power 7- compensating power (p. 19)"

"Because all we can do entails changing, we must willingly accept Christ's change agents, even if we do not like them at first (p. 143)."

"God provides and compensates us with chances that would not have been ours if we had not turned to Him (p. 107)."

"The Savior's compensation for limitations beyond our control leads to more merciful judgment, both in this life and the next (p. 56)."

"If we want Christ to compensate us for our weaknesses, we must desire that same grace for our neighbor (p. 148)."

"Christ is not only the physician but also the medicine (p. 30)."

"I had always believed that He could magnify my effort during my Church or other responsibilities, but I had never considered that Christ compensates for my shortcomings in making my tasks sufficient (p. 97)."

"As evil increases in the world, the Lord is preparing the way for those who seek Him. He is giving us an added compensatory power to address the challenges we face in this life." -Neil L. Andersen

Thomas S. Monson: "One of God’s greatest gifts to us is the joy of trying again, for no failure ever need be final."

"When Adam and Eve partook of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they caused the fall. Christ's atoning power overcomes all the effects of the Fall, including physical death, and as a result, every person who has lived or will live will be resurrected (p. 20)."

"I had always believed that He could magnify my effort during my Church or other responsibilities, but I had never considered that Christ compensates for my shortcomings in making my tasks sufficient (p. 97)."

Christ's compensating power applies to every misfortune we experience, every opportunity we lose, every unfairness we encounter, and every heartache we endure.

"The Atonement of Jesus Christ is not only meant to cleanse us from past mistakes but also purity us of the adverse facets of our nature (p. 24)."

"Christ is not only the physician but also the medicine (p. 30)."

"Part of appreciating the infiniteness of Christ's Atonement is understanding its broad applications (p. 17)."

Christ's compensating power applies to every misfortune we experience, every opportunity we lose, every unfairness we encounter, and every heartache we endure.

"Application of Christ's atoning power... resurrecting power... forgiving power... purifying power... comforting power... healing power... strengthening power... compensating power (p. 19)"
