Is grace enough?

[THIRDpersonviewer]

I will just say, Grace is a free gift to all men without works. Regardless of their actions and situations in life, all men and all things will be redeemed. All things will be resurrected. No man has to do anything, to get this part of the gift. I could be the vilest sinner and yet be resurrected accordingly and only because of this great gift of God.

Were there no Atonement of Christ, there would be no Salvation. All men and all things would be in a fallen state forever and ever and would be like unto the devil and his angels. Forever servants of darkness. However that is not the case. Christ worked out His own Salvation. In so doing he made it possible for us to work ours out too.

Because of what He did, I can pray and read scriptures and do all manner of righteousness and it will have meaning in the world to come. Without the Atonement there is no need or reason to live righteously because we could not have everlasting happiness.

All the Atonement does is provide the way and the means whereby Salvation comes.

However it is our choice, evidenced by our works, where we end up in the world to come. We choose how much of the Atonement we want to apply to us. It can either be a fullness or a tiny bit. Either way, some aspect of the Atonement will apply to everyone.

The more one lives righteously, the more one receives the gift of the Atonement. They feel the blessings in this life. They feel the peace, and satisfaction that being clean offers.
