The Continuous Atonement

by Wilcox

He makes all the difference. “I'll never do it again,” we say — and then we do it. In a world full of challenges, temptations, and even addictions, it is easy to lose hope for ourselves and those we love. During times of discouragement, we must remember that the purpose of the Atonement of Jesus Christ is not just to cleanse and console, but also to transform — and that takes time. Christ is not waiting at the finish line once we have done —all we can do.” He is with us every step of the way, and His Atonement will be available as long as the perfecting process takes — continually.This book offers valuable insights about God, Christ, and our relationship with them. Each chapter contains clear examples that will uplift and motivate. Profound doctrine is made accessible and difficult concepts are presented in such simple ways that over and over the reader will say, “I've never thought of it like that before.” That kind of change of belief will help bring about a change of behavior.Most members of the Church acknowledge that perfection is a long-term process, but overlook the continuous nature of Christ's Atonement that makes that process possible. Peace is found not by giving up or erasing the need to change, but by turning to the One who makes change possible and realizing that we get lots of chances to start again. So, if at first you don't succeed either, don't find excuses. Find the Savior and the blessings of His continuous Atonement. Unabridged audio book

“No lo haré nunca más”, decimos, pero volvemos a hacerlo. La mayoría de nosotros se da cuenta de que lograr la perfección es un proceso largo, pero cuando vemos que cometemos algunos de los mismos errores una y otra vez, resulta fácil perder la esperanza. Sin embargo, Brad Wilcox señala que la expiación del Señor estará a nuestra disposición durante todo ese proceso de perfecciona- miento. Usando el ejemplo de un presbítero que tiene que repetir la oración sacramental varias veces hasta que la dice bien, indica que el Salvador nos ofrece todas las oportunidades que necesitemos. Aun cuando nos equivoquemos semana tras semana, Él nos concede em- pezar de nuevo. Este libro, repleto de relatos y parábolas personales, presenta ver- dades sublimes sobre la Expiación, y lo hace de un modo sencillo y fácil de entender que hará que el lector diga: “Nunca lo había anali- zado de esta manera”. Como insta el autor, “Si en el primer intento no tenemos éxito —si tampoco lo tenemos en el segundo, el tercero o el cuarto, no busquemos atenuantes, busquemos al Salvador y las bendiciones de Su continua expiación”.
