“The Savior desires to save us from our inadequacies as well as our sins. Inadequacy is not the same as being sinful - we have far more control over the choice to sin than we may have over our innate capacity. . . . A sense of falling short or falling down is not only natural but essential to the mortal experience. Still, after all we can do, the Atonement can fill that which is empty, straighten our bent parts, and make strong that which is weak.”
![“There are heavier and lighter sins. Falling away [Abfall] is far more serious than falling down [Fall].[5.] The most brilliant virtues of the apostates are as dark as night compared with the darkest weaknesses of the faithful.[6.]” quote by Dietrich Bonhoeffer](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/93c/dietrich-bonhoeffer-303_quote_there-are-heavier-and-lighter-sins-falli_1955409.jpg)
