An Examination into and an Elucidation of the Great Principle of the Mediation and Atonement of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
Taylor, John
Atonement -- Mormon Church; Latter Day Saint churches -- Doctrines
"Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy
hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and
speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his
tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbor, nor taketh up a reproach
against his neighbor. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he
honoreth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt,
and changeth not. He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor
taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall
never be moved."--Psalm xv, 1-5.
"Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his
holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not
lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall
receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of
his salvation."--Psalm xxiv, 3-5.
"Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall
dwell with everlasting burnings? He that walketh righteously, and
speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that
shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from
hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil. He shall
dwell on high; his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks:
bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure."--Isaiah, xxxiii,
14-16.
There are eternal, unchangeable laws associated with God, and with all
His plans, His works and ways, the requirements of which must be met;
nor can they be evaded or changed, except on certain principles
provided for and contained in the laws themselves. When man had
transgressed, an atonement had to be made commensurate with the act,
and fully adequate to meet the inexorable demands of justice; so that,
as stated, justice might be satisfied, which, if it had not been, the
law pertaining to this matter could not have been carried out, and
must necessarily have been violated.
