Today for Devotional, Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Seventy spoke to us about Agency and the Atonement, and he told us something that I never thought of before.
You know how we as Christians and Mormons are always saying how Christ makes us free becasue he saves us and how our slavation was paid by him? Well, it's not just our salvation that he bought but also our agency!
He told us that our "Free" Agency is not truly "Free" because it was bought by Christ. Just think, if there wasn't an Atonement, we can make as many right choices as we possbly can but we will make wrong choices along the way and thus be condemened. Thus no matter how many right choices we made later, we would still be condemned.
However, Christ paid the price and brought abt the Atonement so that we can repent and mke right choices that would bring us back to live with Heavenly Father. Our agency is only possible because of the Atonement.
So the next time you make a decision, rememeber that your agency wasn't truly totally free and yours to make- Christ paid theprice so that we can make such choices and learn from our mistakes and grow!
And to those who have no idea wat I was just talking abt, just some food for thought!
