Abinadi speaks of the time when every person will confess before God and be judged (v1). The ones found wicked will be cast out because they didn't harken unto the word of The Lord and therefore the devil has power over them (v2-3). If it weren't for our Savior, we would have all been under the power of the devil because we are all fallen in transgression (v4-6). If Christ had not come to break those bands, we would not be able to be resurrection, but I know that He did come and he was resurrected (v7-8).
In Abinadi's words, he is "a light that is endless, that can never be darkened" (v9). We all will put on immortality and be judged according to our works which will lead us to endless happiness if good and endless damnation if bad (v10-11). It's heartbreaking to me to think of the people described in v12 because they never called on The Lord when he was there with his arms extended waiting for them. We are all constantly told to repent because only through Christ can we be saved (v13). Even the law of Moses taught that redemption is through Christ The Lord (v14-15).
