1 Nephi 11:33 Jesus was literally crucified on a cross, for Nephi saw in a vision Jesus being lifted up upon the cross and slain for the sins of the world.
2 Nephi 2:7 Jesus offered HIMSELF a sacrifice for sin to satisfy the Law of Justice-that all sins must be paid for. He paid for all sins. Only those who obey His commandments with a broken heart and a contrite spirit will access Christ's atonement and take advantage of His Atonement and be saved.
2 Nephi 2:10 The End Result of Christ's atonement is Happiness now and Eternal Life in the world to come--living in a state of never-ending happiness (Mosiah 2:41).
Punishment OR Happiness: Obedient or Disobedient
2 Nephi 9:7 Jesus' atonement was INFINITE and PERFECT. Being infinite, His atonement affects all people eternity past and all people eternity future. Without Christ's atonement, our bodies would be buried in the earth, crumble, rot, turn to dust, and there would be no resurrection; consequently our spirits would all eventually become as Satan, for Satan is only a spirit. But Christ's atonement empowers all to be resurrected with our body of flesh and bone and spirit, to live forever in immortality. "For as in Adam, all die; even so in Christ shall all be made alive" (1 Cor. 15:19-22).
2 Nephi 10:25
