"Enos, thy sins are forgiven thee . . . "
One of the great blessings in the entire gospel is that through the atonement of Jesus Christ we can be forgiven of sins and mistakes in our lives. The scriptures repeatedly testify of this truth: “Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more” (D&C 58:42). “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool” (Isaiah 1:18). The modern prophets testify: “Through the Atonement, you can receive forgiveness and be cleansed from your sins when you repent” (“Repentance,” For the Strength of Youth: Fulfilling Our Duty to God, 29).
