hath upon the children of men?
Moroni 7:28
28 For he hath answered the ends of the law, and he claimeth all
those who have faith in him; and they who have faith in him will
cleave unto every good thing; wherefore he advocateth the cause
of the children of men; and he dwelleth eternally in the heavens.
Moroni 7:29
29 And because he hath done this, my beloved brethren, have
miracles ceased? Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither have angels
ceased to minister unto the children of men.
Moroni 7:30
30 For behold, they are subject unto him, to minister according
to the word of his command, showing themselves unto them of
strong faith and a firm mind in every form of godliness.
Moroni 7:31
31 And the office of their ministry is to call men unto
repentance, and to fulfill and to do the work of the covenants of
the Father, which he hath made unto the children of men, to
prepare the way among the children of men, by declaring the word
of Christ unto the chosen vessels of the Lord, that they may bear
testimony of him.
Moroni 7:32
32 And by so doing, the Lord God prepareth the way that the
residue of men may have faith in Christ, that the Holy Ghost may
have place in their hearts, according to the power thereof; and
after this manner bringeth to pass the Father, the covenants
which he hath made unto the children of men.
Moroni 7:33
33 And Christ hath said: If ye will have faith in me ye shall
have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me.
Moroni 7:34
34 And he hath said: Repent all ye ends of the earth, and come
unto me, and be baptized in my name, and have faith in me, that
ye may be saved.
Moroni 7:35
35 And now, my beloved brethren, if this be the case that these
things are true which I have spoken unto you, and God will show
unto you, with power and great glory at the last day, that they
are true, and if they are true has the day of miracles ceased?
Moroni 7:36
36 Or have angels ceased to appear unto the children of men? Or
has he withheld the power of the Holy Ghost from them? Or will
he, so long as time shall last, or the earth shall stand, or
there shall be one man upon the face thereof to be saved?
Moroni 7:37
37 Behold I say unto you, Nay; for it is by faith that miracles
are wrought; and it is by faith that angels appear and minister
unto men; wherefore, if these things have ceased wo be unto the
children of men, for it is because of unbelief, and all is vain.
Moroni 7:38
38 For no man can be saved, according to the words of Christ,
save they shall have faith in his name; wherefore, if these
things have ceased, then has faith ceased also; and awful is the
state of man, for they are as though there had been no redemption
made.
Moroni 7:39
39 But behold, my beloved brethren, I judge better things of
you, for I judge that ye have faith in Christ because of your
meekness; for if ye have not faith in him then ye are not fit to
be numbered among the people of his church.
Moroni 7:40
40 And again, my beloved brethren, I would speak unto you
concerning hope. How is it that ye can attain unto faith, save
ye shall have hope?
Moroni 7:41
41 And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you
that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the
power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and
this because of your faith in him according to the promise.
Moroni 7:42
42 Wherefore, if a man have faith he must needs have hope; for
without faith there cannot be any hope.
Moroni 7:43
43 And again, behold I say unto you that he cannot have faith
and hope, save he shall be meek, and lowly of heart.
Moroni 7:44
44 If so, his faith and hope is vain, for none is acceptable
before God, save the meek and lowly in heart; and if a man be
meek and lowly in heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy
Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he must needs have charity; for
if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs
have charity.
Moroni 7:45
45 And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and
is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked,
thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in
the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all
things, endureth all things.
Moroni 7:46
46 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye
are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto
charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail—
Moroni 7:47
47 But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth
forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it
shall be well with him.
Moroni 7:48
48 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all
the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which
he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son,
Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he
shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is;
that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is
pure. Amen.
