“But Wo, Wo Unto Him Who Knoweth That He Rebelleth Against God”

George Reynolds, Janne M. Sjodahl

Again, we bring before you, the words of Abinadi, that in them, all might see the great knowledge the Nephite servants of God had of the Plan of Salvation.

But behold, and fear, and tremble before God, for ye ought to tremble; for the Lord redeemeth none such that rebel against him and die in their sins; yea, even all those that have perished in their sins ever since the world began, that have willfully rebelled against God, that have known the commandments of God, and would not keep them; there are they that have no part in the first resurrection. Therefore ought ye not to tremble? For salvation cometh to none such; yea, neither can the Lord redeem such; for he cannot deny himself; for he cannot deny justice when it has its claims. (Mosiah 15:26-27)
