What is meant by an “infinite atonement”?

Thomas R. Valletta

Elder Tad R. Callister explained: “The phrase ‘infinite atonement’ or ‘infinite sacrifice’ may refer to an atonement or sacrifice by a God, a being who is infinite in knowledge, power, and glory. Amulek makes that connection when he observes that the ‘great and last sacrifice will be the Son of God, yea, infinite and eternal’ (Alma 34:14). Accordingly, the Atonement is ‘infinite’ because its source is ‘infinite.’ But the Atonement is infinite in other ways as well” (Infinite Atonement, 58).
