Enabled by the Power of Christ

E. Richard Packham addresses the belief that some people simply "aren't cut out to be celestial," arguing that through the enabling power of Christ's Atonement, every accountable soul can rise above the natural man. Drawing on scripture and statements from apostles and prophets, he explores the Creation and Fall, the depth of the Savior's suffering, the doctrine of grace, spiritual rebirth, love-based obedience, and the refining purpose of adversity. A devotional study for Latter-day Saints seeking a deeper personal relationship with the Savior.

• Answers the discouraging belief that 'some of us just aren't cut out to be celestial'
• Reframes grace for Latter-day Saints: we ARE saved by grace—both conditional and unconditional
• A vivid, personal parable that lets readers 'walk with the Savior' through their own life
• Draws on Elder Holland's powerful CES teaching about Gethsemane's suffering

“It is Satan's influence that convinces some that they are "just not cut out to obtain eternal life."”

Perfect for a committed adult Latter-day Saint who wants a deeper, study-oriented understanding of the Atonement and assurance that Christ's grace empowers everyone to achieve celestial life.
