The Miracle of the Atonement - C. Scott Grow

It is interesting to be able to learn interesting facts about speakers in the conference. By clicking on their name under the title of the talk, you are taken to a profile sheet with this information. He has much experience to recommend him to us, some similar to my own background as a CPA. (Even his name is interesting if you read it out loud as if you were his parent.)


What an experience regarding his brother at the very time Elder Grow was preparing to give this talk about the miracle of the Atonement. I thought that this is important in understanding our relationship with the Atonement; "Through His Atonement, He heals not only the transgressor, but He also heals the innocent who suffer because of those transgressions. As the innocent exercise faith in the Savior and in His Atonement and forgive the transgressor, they too can be healed." I know this is true.


The topic is well presented here and familiar to Church members worldwide. Here are some questions he asks us to consider:

  • Are there things that you need to change?
  • Have you made mistakes that still need to be corrected?
Then back to the counsel of all the holy prophets until our day; "Immerse yourself in prayer and scripture study." When we follow this, the path is revealed or comfort is given. It's a promise.

  1. He reminded us that we can be the one that brings a loved one back into the Gospel. I was taught and believe that we also could be the one who somebody else is praying will help a loved one find his way back. He atoned for EVERYBODIES sins, pains etc. Repent and the Savior removes guilt. If you are suffering, seek relief. Repent, pray, forgive yourself, go to your Bishop, STUDY the scriptures.
