As we turn to Christ, the parts of our life that are broken because of sin can be redeemed through repentance, and the parts that are not our fault will be redeemed through Christ’s compensating power.

Our Heavenly Father does not condemn us for our shortfalls when we are trying. This is at the very core of the Atonement. The Atonement is about mercy and about enabling power. You see, the Atonement doesn’t just forgive us for not doing things perfectly.

We all need the realization that we are ‘enough’ because Christ makes our efforts enough. If we keep looking for a feeling of being enough to come to us due to something we finally accomplished or our own personal righteousness, we will forever be disappointed

God doesn’t make you feel guilty for your shortcomings when you are giving an honest effort; God only wants us to feel guilt when we are doing things wrong deliberately in order to lead us to repent.

The Atonement is about mercy and about enabling power. You see, the Atonement doesn’t just forgive us for not doing things perfectly. It makes up for our weakness, in the moment we are weak. It makes our efforts enough to accomplish our tasks

Without the Savior, there is no balancing of the scales or recompensing for disadvantages. But with Christ, we find solace in His compensatory ability to help our family, make up for our weaknesses, and raise our children jointly by His side.

The Atonement makes our efforts enough to accomplish our tasks, and thus the goal is accomplished with God's mercy. The Savior makes up for our weakness in the moment we are weak. If a mother tries her best, and even though her best is not enough, Jesus will compensate that child

When we talk about Christ atoning for our sins, this encompasses not only the consequences to ourselves, but all consequences—including those to other people. Part of atoning, or making amends for actions, is ensuring that others are compensated for the harm done to them.

Christ compensates for harm done to people by others because these destructive consequences did not result from their own actions.

D. Todd Christoffersen: “The Savior’s suffering in Gethsemane and His agony on the cross redeem us from sin by satisfying the demands that justice has upon us. He extends mercy and pardons those who repent. The Atonement also satisfies the debt justice owes to us by healing [us]"

Perhaps when we experience doubts, we are inclined to think, “If I experience doubt, it means that I don’t really believe.” However, doubts are not a result of weak faith, they are simply a result of growing faith.

The Savior not only uses His compensatory power to increase our faith tomorrow, He makes our faith sufficient to give us the miracles we need today.

Whatever level your faith is at, Christ can compensate to make it enough. Christ simply wants us to let Him make our seed-like faith into a beautiful tree.

This is a powerful principle for anyone who has doubts, goes through a faith crisis, or simply feels that their faith is insignificant. With Christ’s help, our faith is sufficient. It is not sufficient because it is perfect, but because Christ can make it so, as we do our part.

The scriptures teach that the gift of faith is a gift from God (see Moroni 10:11). A gift entails something that is not solely earned. While we should do our part to gain and strengthen our testimony, in the end, faith is a gift offered to us by the grace of Christ.

Christ’s blessings and miracles are not predicated on us having complete, grown-tree-like faith. Just like the father who came to the Savior, we need to ask for Christ’s compensating power.

Realizing how much God cares increases our urgency to improve and grow. We become more motivated to put forth our best effort. Understanding that Christ has merciful expectations gives us hope that we can succeed.

Christ pays the demands of justice, and the Atonement of Jesus Christ allows God to extend grace—and blessings—that we have not completely earned.

The only person who has ever kept the commandments perfectly was Christ, but part of the gospel—the good news—is that we get credit for trying! The compensatory power from our Savior allows us to receive blessings as we seek to do God’s will.

Jeffrey R. Holland: “With the gift of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and the strength of heaven to help us, we can improve, and the great thing about the gospel is we get credit for trying, even if we don’t always succeed.”

Learning to keep the commandments is just as much a part of life’s journey as learning to have faith or learning to be patient. It is a process. However we often talk about obedience as a dichotomous outcome, as if someone is either obedient or not.
