"What Has Our Savior Done for Us"?
President Dallin H. Oaks
First Counselor in the First Presidency
The magnificent and incomprehensible effect of the Atonement of Jesus Christ is based on God's love for each of us. It affirm His declaration that "the worth of souls" - every one - "is great in the sight of God". In the Bible, Jesus Christ explained this in terms of our Heavenly Father's love: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." In modern revelation, our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, declared that He "so loved the world that he gave his own life, that as many as would believe might become the sons of God."
Is it any wonder, then, that the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ concludes with the teaching that to become "perfect" and "sanctified in Christ," we must "love God with all our might, mind and strength"? His plan motivated by love must be received with love.

We solemnly testify that His life, which is central to all human history, neither began in Bethlehem nor concluded on Calvary. He was the Firstborn of the Father, the Only Begotten Son in the flesh, the Redeemer of the world.

I got up at 4:45 this morning, probably because I went to bed so early. I listened to Brian Wilcox on "Teaching with Power." He did a compare and contrast of DC 79:2 and 89:3 and then said, the Spirit doesn't always tell us exactly what to do. I love his handouts and keep a copy of them in my "Come Follow Me" file.
At 9:00 this morning it was a gorgeous 68 degrees as I was working on my blog. I love how clean everything seems and how good it smells here because of the trees, after it rains.
I got up from the computer to walk but James asked me to read to him so I sat back down and read a chapter from "Beyond the White River."
After lunch we had a nice 10-15 minute rainstorm. While I was sitting in the recliner after lunch I looked up "The John Tanner" story on the TV and James and I watched it. It was only about 20 minutes long and was really good. John was taught the gospel by Jared and Simeon Carter and Jared healed his hurt leg. Jared Carter had the gift of healing and was such a remarkable missionary I was sad to learn that he did not endure to the end. He left the Church and never made it to Utah.
While walking this afternoon I finished "Becoming Lady Lockwood" and started a new book, "Fly Home to Me."
It's funny how here in Arizona we have been praying for rain and in some areas of Germany they are experiencing extreme flooding.
The Suns and the Bucks played the fifth game of the finals series which is tied 2-2. The Bucks seem to have the momentum and won again. The next game will be played in Phoenix and we will have to win if we want to stay in the race. Booker made over 40 points again.
I indexed this evening and read from my books. Here is something interesting to think about from the book, "Grace Where You Are":
This is referring to Saul on the road to Damascus. "What had Saul done to qualify for grace? If we are saved by grace after all we can do, and all we can do is believe in Christ, what, then, does it mean to believe?
A big dark cloud was moving towards us this evening from Springerville, keeping James from going horseback riding. It finally got here but there was no rain left in it.
