"Some things in life are temporary, and some are permanent. Our temporal life is temporary. Our trials are temporary. Our pain is temporary. BECAUSE of the Savior and His Atonement, our mortality will become immorality and we may dwell with God in a state of PERMANENT or never ending happiness. We know that the Lord will be victorious and that His victory will be permanent. That very thought should give us faith and HOPE."
John Bytheway
"If the end goal is just to be clean, start again, be healed and go home, then WHY did we choose mortality, knowing full well we would get dirty, fail often, be broken and lose our way? Clearly there had to be something more that drove us to enroll in the earthly school than getting to go home when the bell rings. We came because we had FAITH that through the Atonement each lesson we learned could make us better, stronger and wiser. To that end, the Atonement is not just a helpful tool. It is an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY. Christ does not just open the door of opportunity.
He extends His Hand and HELPS us through it."
