Moroni 10

Overview

In some of his last writings, Moroni emphasized that God is the source of all truth. He taught that if we ask God with a sincere heart, real intent, and faith in Christ, we can know the Book of Mormon is true by the power of the Holy Ghost. He testified of gifts that God has given His children through the Spirit to benefit them. In the final verses of the Book of Mormon, Moroni invited all to follow the Savior and be perfected in him.
