Mormons know that they could not be saved without the atonement of Jesus Christ and they also know the atonement was a voluntary gift of love by both the Savior and by God, who allowed His son to suffer for us. Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah, who layeth down his life according to the flesh, and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit, that he may bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, being the first that should rise. Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit and unto none else can the ends of the law be answered.

Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah for he is full of grace and truth. This is emphasized in a verse we discussed in a previous article on the atonement of Jesus Christ: It makes everything meaningful, fair, and hopeful. This, of course, is the most important thing Mormons-and all other Christians-have to rejoice in. Following are just three of the reasons Mormons rejoice in Christ. After all, look at everything a Christian has to rejoice in, particularly if that Christian is a Mormon. While there are very serious aspects of faith and those have to be addressed, most sermons end on a message of hope and rejoicing. What does that mean to a Mormon? Mormonism contains a lot of teachings about joy and rejoicing. However, there is a phrase in the verse that demonstrates a central belief in everyday Mormonism. This scripture is normally used to demonstrate that the mission of the Church is to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to show that Mormons do not believe they can save themselves (because they don’t believe that). “And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins.” A favorite scripture among Mormons (a nickname for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) is found in 2 Nephi 25:26 in the Book of Mormon.
