Most of 3 Nephi 18 led me to think about the question above. I think it was a question that came through revelation. It's a really good question, in my mind. How much have I used what the Savior did for me. (I'm also trying to be mindful of President Uchtdorf's talk about respecting and not overusing or making common the Atonement, by speech or thought.) I think after reading verse 20, I kind of had a daydream of sorts in which I was standing at the judgment bar and up on an overhead chalkboard thing was a list of the times that I have consciously and intentionally used the Savior's grace. I looked at my list, and then I looked at other peoples' lists (although I don't think the judgment bar will be a contest or competition or comparison with others) and some of them were longer.
This daydream really made me think and feel this thought: the Savior really truly deeply wants me to use Him. He wants me to come unto Him and use what He did for me to improve and repent. Verse 25 says that none should go away, as in none shall be turned away or denied from the power of Christ's Atonement. Including me. Every time.
