And I, Enos, knew that God could not lie; wherefore, my guilt was swept away.
This is the great gift of the atonement, to have all guilt removed. It is called justification. When we are justified, all stains and scars are wiped away. We do not feel guilty because we no longer have the sins to be guilty for. Now, we may sin again, and then we'll be guilty again, and we'll need to repent again and be justified again. Repentance is continuous, and so is the atonement. But whatever is justified in that moment is gone in that moment, and we can forget about it.
