“The magnificent and incomprehensible effect of the
Atonement of Jesus Christ is based on God’s love for each of us. It affirms His
declaration that the worth of souls – every one – is great in the sight of God.
In the Bible, Jesus Christ explained this in terms of our Heavenly Father’s
love: ‘For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.’ In
modern revelation, our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, declared that He ‘so loved the
world that he gave his own life, that as many as would believe might become the
sons of God.’ Is it any wonder, then, that the Book of Mormon: Another
Testament of Jesus Christ concludes with the teaching that to become perfect
and sanctified in Christ, we must love God with all our might, mind and
strength? His plan motivated by love must be received with love.” – President
Dallin H. Oaks
