1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
As a Mormon I heard the word atonement used in odd and often confusing ways. Usually during General Conference I learned how I could apply it to my life, how it covered a multitude of things, how it would bring me personal strength, cleanse me and bring me happiness, and lastly how it will help me endure to the end.
Back then I was so clueless as to what the atonement was all about that, as a conversation starter, I asked a Christian woman in my homeschooling group if she believed in it. Looking back now I can’t imagine how bizarre she must have thought I was to even ask her such a question.
Think about this for a moment.
