I rely daily
upon the atonement of Christ. The
atonement gives me hope. Otherwise, I
would despair because of my weaknesses and sin.
Jacob asks, “…why not speak of the atonement of Christ, and attain to a
perfect knowledge of him?” He testifies,
“…we search the prophets, and we have many revelations and the spirit of
prophecy; and having all these witnesses we obtain a hope, and our faith
becometh unshaken….” Jacob also teaches
that we can know the truth of all things by the Spirit: “…the Spirit speaketh
the truth and lieth not. Wherefore, it
speaketh of things as they really are, and of things as they really will be; wherefore,
these things are manifested unto us plainly for the salvation of our souls.”
