From What

And again I ask, were the bands of death broken, and the chains of hell which encircled them about, were they loosed? I say unto you, Yea, they were loosed, and their souls did expand, and they did sing redeeming love. And I say unto you that they are saved.
Alma 5:
The Book Of Mormon

Question:

From what bondage was Alma telling us we were to be delivered from?

Answer:

Deliverance from the bondage of sin and evil.

This imagery in verse 9 really displays the relief from sin, as bands and chains being loosed and broken- thus, "souls did expand", and "redeeming love" sung. Hence, "saved".

Safety, courage, peace, love, power, direction, hope, and belief become byproducts of Christ's redemptive power.

This feeling is "never enough"!

Never Enough
