The well beloved Son then addressed the Father, and instead of proposing to carry out any plan of his own, knowing what His Father’s will was, said, “Thy will be done; I will carry out thy plans and thy designs, and, as man will fall, I will offer myself as an atonement according to thy will, O God.

Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Spencer W. Kimball

I know that Jesus, through eternities past and future, is the Creator, the Redeemer, the Savior, the Son of God.16 Through His Atonement, Jesus Christ saves all people from the effects of the Fall and saves the repentant from personal sins. This voluntary action would atone for the fall of Adam and Eve and permit the spirit of man to recover his body, thereby reuniting body and spirit.19 This resurrection referred to is the work of Jesus Christ, the Savior, who, because he was both mortal (the son of Mary) and divine (the Son of God), was able to overcome the powers governing the flesh.
