John 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
The savior's atonement should bring joy and peace to our lives.
This peace and joy stands in stark contrast to the fear and dispair which abound in the world today. Christ overcame the world through his atonement. We can overcome the world by partaking of the blessings of his atonement through repentance.
"Those who overcome this world by repenting will in the process have formed character which will give them 'so much the advantage in the world to come.' So much, therefore, of overcoming the world consists of overcoming the proclivities of the natural man and woman."
