The Atonement Rectifies the Fall—How could the negatives of the Fall, namely physical and spiritual death, be correct, amended, and reconciled in the eternal scheme? Of what value was a posterity or godly knowledge if men and women were doomed to remain in the grave, separated from the presence of their God? There was no solution without a Redeemer—someone who would atone, redeem, reconcile, and make amends for these negative conditions. Lehi states it simply and succinctly: “the Messiah cometh in the fulness of time, that he may redeem the children of men from the fall” (2 Nephi 2:26) Lehi understood that the Fall was not without its remedy, for he declared, “The way is prepared from the fall of man, and salvation is free” (2 Nephi 2:4)Share
