2 Nephi 2:22-26; if we don't understand the fall and the importance of it then we aren't going to ever understand the Atonement. We must gain a complete understanding of both.
in vs 28 it is inviting us to do a few things,"ye should 1. look to the great Mediator, and 2 Hearken unto his great commandments; and 3. be faithful unto his words, and 4. Choose eternal life according to the will of his Holy Spirit;"
In regards to 2 Nephi 2:29, Elder David A. Bednar said
"The journey from bad to good is the process of putting off the natural man or the natural woman in each of us. In mortality we all are tempted by the flesh. The very elements out of which our bodies were created are by nature fallen and ever subject to the pull of sin, corruption, and death. And we can increase our capacity to overcome the desires of the flesh and temptations, as described in [Mosiah 3:19], “through the atonement of Christ.” When we make mistakes—as we transgress and sin—we are able to overcome such weakness through the redeeming and cleansing power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ."
