Believe in yourself. Believe in your capacity to do great and good things. Believe that no mountain is so high that you cannot climb it...You are not destined to be a scrub. You are a child of God, of infinite capacity. -Pres. Hinckley

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

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]"

Similar to baptism, the covenants and ordinances in the temple help bring cleansing. Most of the sacrifices and ordinances performed at the temple in ancient days were about purification so that “the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him” (Leviticus 19:22)

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.

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.

Part of the purpose of making covenants – including those made at baptism and in the temple – is to partake of the Savior’s cleansing ability. This is precisely what we are promised when we are baptized, that we will receive a “remission of sins” (D&C 49:13).

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 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.

As we strive to come unto Christ, His grace is sufficient to compensate for all our failings. Christ’s power compensates for what we lack today so that we can keep moving forward and become what He wants us to be tomorrow.
