Subject in the flesh
An infinite atonement
Delight in fatness
2 Nephi 9 - Jews shall be gathered in all their lands of promise—Atonement ransoms man from the fall—The bodies of the dead shall come forth from the grave, and their spirits from hell and from paradise—They shall be judged—Atonement saves from death, hell, the devil, and endless torment—The righteous to be saved in the kingdom of God—Penalties for sins set forth—The Holy One of Israel is the keeper of the gate. About 559–545 B.C.
This chapter has always been a favorite of mine. Trying to fathom the need, realization, and impact of an infinite atonement is a life-long effort and joy. Jacob points out that one result is that we can spend our monies, time, and energy enjoying the highest and best of what life has to offer; those things that bring a fulness of joy. (This entire chapter is commentary on Isaiah's exultant "put on thy beautiful garments.")
