The Promise of the Book of Mormon
Before Moroni buried the plates for the last time, he wrote a promise to the Lamanites and all others who would read these records. Moro. 10:1–2
He said to read the records, really think about them, and then ask Heavenly Father if they are true. Moro. 10:3–4
Moroni promised that if we do so sincerely, with faith in Christ, the Holy Ghost will help us know that they are true. Moro. 10:4–5
Moroni wrote that if we repent and follow Jesus Christ and love Heavenly Father with all our “might, mind and strength,” we may become perfect. Moro. 10:32
When he hid the plates in the Hill Cumorah, Moroni’s mortal work was finished. He would “soon go to rest in the paradise of God.” Moro. 10:34
