“Abinadi’s purpose in this sermon … is to declare more than the unity of the Godhead; his is ‘the pronouncement of pronouncements, the doctrine of doctrines, the message of messages, which is that Christ is God. And if it were not so, he could not save us’ (Promised Messiah, 98). … Abinadi is declaring the true doctrine of the Incarnation: he is teaching and testifying that God (Jehovah) will become a man (Jesus), that he who was the ‘Great Spirit’ … shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay. … Father and Son, Spirit and flesh, are brought together in one to form the ‘one God’ who is the very Eternal Father of heaven and earth—Jesus Christ” (McConkie and Millet, Doctrinal Commentary, 2:230–31).
