Mosiah 4: 5 For behold, if the knowledge of the goodness of God at this time has awakened you to a sense of your nothingness, and your worthless and fallen state 6 I say unto you, if ye have come to a knowledge of the goodness of God, and his matchless power, and his wisdom, and his patience, and his long-suffering towards the children of men; and also, the atonement which has been prepared from the foundation of the world, that thereby salvation might come to him that should put his trust in the Lord, and should be diligent in keeping his commandments, and continue in the faith even unto the end of his life, I mean the life of the mortal body 7 I say, that this is the man who receiveth salvation, through the atonement which was prepared from the foundation of the world for all mankind, which ever were since the fall of Adam, or who are, or who ever shall be, even unto the end of the world. This does NOT mean we are worthless. The realization of your total dependence upon the power and blessings of heaven. You are as nothing in comparison to God. You have not even the power to make one hair white or black, let alone add a single cubit to your stature. Yet the miracle of man is the greatest evidence of God, for you have within yourself the power through the atonement and the grace of God to become as he is.
