Christ Has Done All for Us
PRAYER.

My Savior, there is nothing You could have done for me that You have not done. Never let me depart from my love for You.

CAN anyone enter into the doctrine of the Atonement without possessing a clear assurance that there is nothing in the World that can be done for us which Christ has not done and will not do?

By His sighs and tears, by His agony and death, by all He has suffered, He seems to entreat us to have confidence in Him. He entreats us to take on trust the truth that we are compelled to receive God's mercies, yet punished for the misuse of them.
