Mosiah 16:13–15 contains Abinadi’s concluding message to the wicked priests. Note how Abinadi centered his testimony on the Atonement, and how he indicated that salvation is merited only through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Even the priests’ claim that they were obedient to the law of Moses was a rationalization of their own wickedness; if they had truly kept the Mosaic law, it would have taught them of and brought them to Christ.
