Moroni 7:20

And now, my brethren,

how is it possible that ye can lay hold upon every good thing?

Moroni 7:21

And now I come to that faith, of which I said I would speak;

and I will tell you the way whereby ye may lay hold on every good thing.

Moroni 7:22

For behold, God knowing all things,

being from everlasting to everlasting,

behold, he sent angels to minister unto the children of men,

to make manifest concerning the coming of Christ;

and in Christ there should come every good thing.

Moroni 7:23

And God also declared unto prophets, by his own mouth,

that Christ should come.

Moroni 7:24

And behold, there were divers ways

that he did manifest things unto the children of men, which were good;

and all things which are good cometh of Christ;

otherwise men were fallen, and there could no good thing come unto them.

Moroni 7:25

Wherefore, by the ministering of angels,

and by every word which proceeded forth out of the mouth of God,

men began to exercise faith in Christ;

and thus by faith, they did lay hold upon every good thing;

and thus it was until the coming of Christ.

Moroni 7:26

And after that he came men also were saved by faith in his name;

and by faith, they become the sons of God.

And as surely as Christ liveth he spake these words unto our fathers, saying:

Whatsoever thing ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is good,

in faith believing that ye shall receive,

behold, it shall be done unto you.

Moroni 7:27

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased

because Christ hath ascended into heaven,

and hath sat down on the right hand of God,

to claim of the Father his rights of mercy

which he hath upon the children of men?

Moroni 7:28

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

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

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

And the office of their ministry is to call men unto repentance,

and to fulfil 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
