“He Shall Take Upon Him the Transgressions of Those Who Believe on His Name”
This is an important principle which must be viewed properly in order to avoid confusion. There are persons who teach that Christ suffered only for those who will repent. This is false. It is incorrect The Lord suffered for every soul, “yea, the pains of every living creature, both men, women, and children, who belong to the family of Adam (2 Nephi 9:21; see also D&C 18:11; D&C 19:16). His suffering and atonement are efficacious, however, only for those who repent and come unto him. Thus to refuse to repent is to mock his pain and shun his sufferings. It is, in the words of Paul, to do ”despite unto the spirit of grace“ (Hebrews 10:29).”
