Quotes About Redemption

Este nuevo pacto traería el perdón de los pecados, la justicia y la reconciliación por medio de las obras y la muerte de la simiente de la mujer. El Nuevo Pacto seguiría basándose en la justicia perfecta, pero sería la justicia de otro: Cristo.

El tercer punto del amilenarismo es que el reino de Dios es espiritual en la actualidad. Desde Su Primera Venida, Cristo se ha sentado en el trono de David, y continuará gobernando y reinando desde el Cielo hasta que termine de edificar el reino con los redimidos y lo entregue, sin mancha ni defecto, a Dios Padre en el último día.

El cuarto punto del amilenarismo es que la Tierra Prometida es la Tierra nueva. Abraham no buscaba un pedazo de tierra que permaneciera bajo la maldición de la Caída; él buscaba una ciudad cuyo constructor y hacedor es Dios. No será hasta la nueva creación que el Abraham resucitado, con todos sus hijos glorificados, morará para siempre con Dios en la Tierra en perfecta paz.

El amilenarismo no es complejo. Es simplemente el evangelio aplicado a la historia del mundo.

En Su Primera Venida, Cristo sufrió y trajo buenas nuevas al mundo. En Su Segunda Venida, Cristo traerá desgracia {o ayes} y juicio al mundo. Su Primera Venida es en paz; Su Segunda Venida es con juicio.

Sufrió a manos de los malvados en Su primera aparición, pero vencerá y reinará sobre los malvados en Su segunda aparición.

Aprendemos que la salvación siempre ha sido solo por la fe en Cristo solamente. Un verdadero hijo de Dios no viene por nacimiento natural ni por circuncisión ni por obras, sino por la fe. Toda la Escritura apunta a una sola persona. Toda la Escritura se centra en Cristo Jesús.

God doesn't care nearly as much about where you have been as He does about where you are and, with His help, where you are willing to go.

However late you think you are, however many chances you think you have missed, however many mistakes you feel you have made or talents you think you don't have, or however far from home and family and God you feel you have traveled, I testify that you have not traveled beyond the reach of divine love. It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light of Christ's Atonement shines.

In our moments of pain and trial, I guess we would shudder to think it could be worse, but without the atonement it not only could be worse, it would be worse.

Everything in the gospel teaches us that we can change if we need to, that we can be helped if we truly want it, that we can be made whole, whatever the problems of the past.

Imperfect people are all God has ever had to work with. This must be terribly frustrating to Him, but He deals with it.

I believe we have all been created for greater things than we can comprehend. The times call for great things, but great things in the noblest and most redemptive sense are predicted upon tolerance, love, respect, understanding, dignity, prayer, God.

You and I won't ever find ourselves on that cross, but we repeatedly find ourselves at the foot of it. And how we act there will speak volumes about what we think of Christ's character and His call for us to be His disciples.

He has, He reminds us, "graven thee upon the palms of my hands" (1 Nephi 21:16). Considering the incomprehensible cost of the Crucifixion, Christ is not going to turn His back on us now.

Jesus has chosen, even in a resurrected, otherwise perfected body, to retain for the benefit of His disciples the wounds in His hands and in His feet and in His side-signs, if you will, that painful things happen even to the pure and the perfect; signs, if you will, that pain in this world is not evidence that God doesn't love you; signs, if you will, that problems pass and happiness can be ours.

Christ walked the path every mortal is called to walk so that he would know how to succor and strengthen us in our most difficult times. He knows the deepest and most personal burdens we carry. He knows the most public and poignant pains we bear. He descended below al such grief in order that he might lift us above it. There is no anguish or sorrow or sadness in life that he has not suffered in our behalf and borne away upon his own valiant and compassionate shoulders.

The "good news" was that death and hell could be escaped, that mistakes and sins could be overcome, that there was hope, that there was help, that the insoluble was solved, that the enemy had been conquered. The good news was that everyone's tomb could one day be empty, that everyone's soul could again be pure, that every child of God could again return to the Father who gave them life.

Whoever you are and wherever you find yourself as you seek your way in life, I offer you "the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). Wherever else you think you may be going, I ask you to "come unto Him" as the imperative first step in getting there, in finding your individual happiness and strength and success.

The world around us is an increasingly hostile and sinful place. Occasionally that splashes onto us, and perhaps, in the case of a few of you, it may be nearly drowning you. To anyone struggling under the burden of sin, I say again with the Prophet Joseph that God has 'a forgiving disposition' (Lectures on Faith, 42). You can change. You can be helped. You can be made whole—whatever the problem.

Feeding the hungry, healing the sick, rebuking hypocrisy, pleading for faith--this was Christ showing us the way of the Father... In His life and especially in His death Christ was declaring, "This is the Father's compassion I am showing you, as well as my own.

I don't know what things may be troubling you personally, but, even knowing how terrific you are and how faithfully you are living, I would be surprised if someone somewhere weren't troubled by a transgression or the temptation of transgression. To you, wherever you may be, I say, Come unto him and lay down your burden. Let him lift the load. Let him give peace to your soul. Nothing in this world is more burdensome than sin—it is the heaviest cross men and women ever bear.

Please, never say: 'Who does it hurt? Why not a little freedom? I can transgress now and repent later.' Please don't be so foolish and so cruel. You cannot with impunity 'crucify Christ afresh.

In a world of discouragement, sorrow, and overmuch sin, in times when fear and despair seem to prevail, when humanity is feverish with no worldly physicians in sigh, I too say, Trust Jesus. Let Him still the tempest and ride upon the storm. Believe that He can lift mankind from its bed of affliction, in time and in eternity.
