“Jesus’ death on the cross was a fully human and yet fully divine sacrifice that effectively paid the price for humankind’s sin.”
"This new covenant work of Christ removes idols, users in the Holy Spirit, transforms the inner being, and writes the law of God upon the heart (Heb. 8:7-12), so the death destined sinner becomes a new creation with a new destiny."
- Edward P. Meadors
Transformation
"If God is really God in the full biblical sense, he cannot have pure relationship with people whose sins still fester. For God’s love is holy love. Sin is perverted. God’s love is just and righteous. Sin is unjust and unrighteous… God desires that his people be one with him. And that is impossible as long as sin remains in the picture."
- Edward P. Meadors
Morality
"My dear young friends, there is always a way back. Jesus Christ (and His gospel) is the way. You have not committed any sin so serious that you are beyond the reach of the Savior’s love and atoning grace. As you take steps to repent and follow God’s laws, you will begin to feel just how much Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son want you back home with Them! They want you to be happy. They will do anything within Their power that does not violate your agency or Their laws to help you come back."
- President Russell M. Nelson
Forgiveness
"It’s one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, to forgive. Forgive everybody."
- Oprah Winfrey
Forgiveness
"True forgiveness is when you can say, ‘Thank you for that experience.'"
- Oprah Winfrey
Forgiveness
"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."
- Mahatma Gandhi
Forgiveness
"Forgiving isn’t something you do for someone else. It's something you do for yourself. It's saying, 'You’re not important enough to have a stranglehold on me.' It’s saying, 'You don't get to trap me in the past. I am worthy of a future.'"
