Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
For yesterday is but a dream.
And tomorrow is only a vision.
But today well lived makes
every yesterday a dream of happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation of the dawn.

Infinite Atonement

As many as would believe and be baptized in his holy name, and endure in faith to the end, should be saved—not only those who believed after he came in the meridian of time, in the flesh, but all those from the beginning,. . . as well as those who should come after. DOCTRINE & COVENANTS 20:25-27

Jesus Christ brought to pass an infinite atonement. It is infinite because it overcomes the most universal fact of mortality: physical death (2 Nephi 9:7). It is infinite because it was performed by an infinite Being. One who had within himself the powers of Godhood, the powers of immortality (John 10:17-18; Alma 34:14). It is infinite because it reaches beyond this earth to the untold numbers of worlds created by the Lord Jehovah: Jesus redeems all that he creates (D&C 76:24; Moses 1:33-35). It is infinite because it is timeless: Christ is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8; Moses 7:47). His atoning sacrifice in the meridian of time reached back to take effect from the days of Adam and forward through time until the last person is born, lives, and is redeemed. (Robert L. Millet and Lloyd D. Newell. Draw Near Unto Me: Daily Reflections on the Doctrine and Covenants. 64)
