If there had been no fall, there would have been no need for the Atonement…right?
“The answer is linked to our strong belief that the Fall is one of the ‘three pillars of eternity’ and that it has a vital place in the program of God.” (Bruce R. McConkie. P. 27, Three Pillars of Eternity)
“To put it simply, the Atonement does more than fix the mistakes. It does more than balance the scales. It even does more than forgive our sins. It rehabilitates, regenerate, renews and transforms human nature. Christ makes us better, worlds better, than we would have been had there been no fall.”
