Personal Progress--Faith

So I completed Faith Value Experience 5 and I wanted to share my testimony on the atonement.  Now I'm not as eloquent as some people.

I'm extremely grateful, impressed, and full of love for my Savior. Heavenly Father and Christ knew what they wanted in the end, they knew what path to use to get there, and they created a plan to make it possible. They thought of everything. They knew that we had to be able to choose and planed for the fall. They knew that because of the fall nobody would make it, so they planed for the Atonement. They know so much.
I know there was transgression from the Law and we fell because of it and are cut off from God. The Lord was merciful and didn't want us to live forever in our sins, so he made it possible for us to die. Therefore, we needed resurrection and atonement: to be saved from death and sin. And the Savior did that.
The Savior suffered our pain. We can be saved if we repent, are baptized, and have faith in Christ.
I am so grateful for the atonement that I am able to repent of my sins and not spiritually perish if I follow the Lord. I am grateful that Christ went through with the plan even though it caused Him great suffering. He went through it for us that he may know how to help us in our time of need if we will let him. When I remember that he took upon Him our pains (pains we feel because of life and because of our sins/transgressions) and he suffered for us, it make me want to be better, to try my hardest not to sin.
