Chapter 53
Moroni and His Teachings
After Mormon died, Moroni was alone. He finished the records his father had given him.
Moroni knew the gold plates would one day be taken out of the ground.
The words on the gold plates tell about Jesus Christ. They bear testimony and teach people how to live righteously.
The wicked Lamanites killed every Nephite who would not deny Jesus Christ.
Moroni would never deny Jesus Christ. He moved around, hiding from the Lamanites.
Moroni wrote more on the gold plates, especially to the Lamanites of the latter days.
He wrote many important things, including the words of the sacrament prayers.
Moroni wrote that the only people who can be baptized are those willing to repent of their sins and serve Jesus Christ.
Moroni wanted everyone to believe in Jesus Christ and come to know him. He said everything good comes from Christ.
Moroni wrote that if people love God and follow him, they can become perfect.
Moroni knew that after he died he would be resurrected and would live with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
