He explains the relationship of justice and mercy and the importance of ordinances. And through his examination of the effects of the fall of Adam and our individual sins he reminds us powerfully of the incalculable debt of gratitude we owe our Savior Jesus Christ for His unparalleled offering. "An attempt to master this doctrine requires an immersion of all our senses all our feelings and all our intellect " Elder Callister writes. "The Atonement is not a doctrine that lends itself to some singular approach like a universal formula. It must be felt not just figured; internalized not just analyzed. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is the most supernal mind-expanding passionate doctrine this world or universe will ever know." With clarity testimony and understanding The Infinite Atonement teaches us rich and wonderful truths about this "doctrine of doctrines" and elevates our spirits as we contemplate the perfect love of Him who gave all that we might receive all.
