Redemption cometh in
and through the Holy Messiah;
for he is full of grace and truth.
Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin,
to answer the ends of the law,
unto all those who have
a broken heart and a contrite spirit;
and unto none else
can the ends of the law be answered.
Wherefore, how great the importance
to make these things known
unto the inhabitants of the earth,
that they may know
that there is no flesh that can
dwell in the presence of God,
save it be through the merits,
and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah,
who layeth down his life according to the flesh,
and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit,
that he may bring to pass
the resurrection of the dead,
being the first that should rise.
Wherefore, he is the firstfruits unto God,
inasmuch as he shall make intercession
for all the children of men;
and they that believe in him shall be saved.
And because of the intercession for all,
all men come unto God;
wherefore, they stand in the presence of him,
to be judged of him according to the truth
and holiness which is in him.
Wherefore, the ends of the law
which the Holy One hath given,
unto the inflicting of
the punishment which is affixed,
which punishment that is affixed is in opposition
to that of the happiness which is affixed,
to answer the ends of the atonement.
(2 Nephi 2:6-10)
