While the Law of Justice demands a penalty for sin, Jesus Christ acts as a Mediator who satisfies those demands and extends mercy to the repentant. Through His Atonement, Christ offers grace as an enabling power, providing divine assistance to help individuals perform good works and overcome weaknesses after they have given their own best efforts. Ultimately, this redemptive process seeks to root out the "natural man," healing the soul and allowing for a life of happiness throughout eternity
