"The Savior's suffering in Gethsemane and His agony on the cross redeem us from sin by satisfying the demands that justice has upon us. He extends mercy and pardons those who repent. The Atonement also satisfies the debt justice owes to us by healing and compensating us for any suffering we innocently endure. 'For behold, he suffereth the pains of all men, yea, the pains of every living creature, both men, women, ,and children, who belong to the family of Adam' (2 Nephi 9:21; see also Alma 7:11-12)."
Elder D. Todd Cristofferson, "Redemption," General Conference April 2013
