“Salvation is free in two senses. First, the Atonement, which makes salvation possible, is a free gift. … Salvation cannot be earned; it comes only through the merits, mercy, and grace of Christ, as Lehi explained. By definition, mercy is unearned, unmerited. Second, redemption has been provided for all humankind from the consequences of the transgression of Adam and Eve: death and hell. Death is totally overcome and immortality guaranteed for all by Jesus’ resurrection. Jacob later described how resurrection itself is redemption (2 Nephi 9:6–10). In addition, sin and hell may be completely overcome by repenting and keeping His commandments” (Ogden and Skinner, Book of Mormon, 1:116).
