Subject: The
Atonement
| 
True | 
False | 
The
  Atonement process only occurred while Jesus was on the cross. | 
| 
True | 
False | 
The
  Atonement is not for everyone. | 
| 
True | 
False | 
In the Garden
  of Gethsemane, the weight of our sins caused the Savior to feel such agony
  that He bled from every pore. | 
| 
True | 
False | 
Only He could redeem us from our sins. God the Father gave Him this power (Hel 5:11). The Savior was able to receive this power and carry out
  the Atonement because He kept Himself free from sin: He suffered temptations
  but gave no heed unto them. Having lived a perfect, sinless life, He was free
  from the demands of justice. Because He had the power of redemption and
  because He had no debt to justice, he could pay the debt for those who
  repent. |

True | 
False | 
When we
  die, our spirits also die. | 
| 
True | 
False | 
Although we are redeemed unconditionally from the universal
  effects of the Fall, we are accountable for our own sins. But we can be
  forgiven and cleansed from the stain of sin if we “apply the atoning blood of
  Christ” | 
| 
True | 
False | 
Jesus died for our sins. Therefore, the
  ONLY purpose of the atonement is to (erase or) pay for our sins and not to
  change us. | 
| 
True | 
False | 
Jesus
  Christ was foreordained to carry out the Atonement – to come to the earth,
  suffer the penalty for our sins in the Garden of Gethsemane, die on the
  cross, and be resurrected. He became “the Lamb slain from the foundation of
  the world” (Rev 13:8). | 
| 
True | 
False | 
Adam and
  Ella partook of the fruit in the Garden of Eden, thus causing the Fall from
  being close to Heavenly Father.  We
  needed a Savior who could help redeem us from our spiritual fallen state. | 
| 
True | 
False | 
Jesus Christ did what only He could do in atoning for our
  sins. To make His Atonement fully effective in our individual lives, we must
  have faith in Christ, repent of our sins, be baptized and confirmed by one
  having authority, receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, obey God’s
  commandments, receive sacred ordinances, and strive to become like Him. As we
  do these things through His Atonement, we can return to live with Him and our
  Heavenly Father forever. |
