Practical Atonement
Practical atonement emphasizes application of the Atonement of Christ in daily life, transforming our thoughts, words, and actions. It accounts for the Atonement, expanding from Jesus in Gethsemane, as an eternal process of reconciliation through love, repentance, forgiveness, and service. This approach encourages universal active participation in bringing humanity closer to God and each other. By living and practicing the principles of Atonement, we work toward unity, compassion, and becoming Christ.
