What can heal the sin-sick soul?

Thomas R. Valletta

“The atoning sacrifice of Christ, and our full acceptance of it, is the spiritual antidote that heals the wounded soul. It is such an antidote that replaces despair with hope, darkness with light, and turmoil with peace. It was this antidote that worked for Zeezrom. He lay sick with a burning fever. He recounted his many sins, believing there was ‘no deliverance’ for what he had done. Then Alma posed the tide-turning question, ‘Believest thou in the power of Christ unto salvation?’ … The response was positive. The healing that followed was not only physical but spiritual as well. The prerequisite was a belief in the Atonement of Jesus Christ” (Callister, Infinite Atonement, 203).
