Christ was only one a was willing and able to preform what we call atonement. Th atonement is the event when Christ suffered for pain, sickness, afflictions, ands sins of all the human race. Plus the loosed the bands of death. This means that he die, but by his own power and came back with a perfect body. Though is event we can all over come the fall of Abram and return to the presence of Heavenly Father. In the book of Mormon we learn about this in 2 nephi 2:26-27; 26And the aMessiah cometh in the fulness of time, that he may bredeem the children of men from the fall. And because that they are credeemed from the fall they have become dfree forever, knowing good from evil; to act for themselves and not to be acted upon, save it be by the punishment of the elaw at the great and last day, according to the commandments which God hath given.
27Wherefore, men are afree according to the bflesh; and call things are dgiven them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to echoose fliberty and eternal glife, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be hmiserable like unto himself.
God has set forth is laws and punishment for breaking those laws (this is now as a sin). Our God is an unchanging God, his laws and punishments are all same no matter who, where, when, or how you live. But The cool thing Christ took upon him the punishment of every one sins, and we don't have to suffer or our sins if would just repent. Justice is set, mercy is conditional on us repenting and being baptised. Jesus Christ though his atonement to can apply mercy withhold punishments of the justice of God. And welcome us back into his presence. I know this is true and his blessed my life.
