The Atonement

At church we discussed the atonement and how Christ died for our sins. The perspective was brought up that when we sin there is an effect on others. Their lives are effected by our choices and their choices effect us. The Savior atoned for the sins of that person and also heals (emotionally, mentally) those who have been effected. It really is amazing. Of course in both cases, the person involved has to ask for forgiveness or ask to be healed. He wants us to come to Him but we have to choose to.
