I just completed my goal of reading the Book of Mormon, the last day of April. My goal was to read the book in 30 days. And, I can happily report that I did it and, of course, I feel very blessed by the effort.
The last chapter Moroni 10 has many a versus which ring true with my belief system. Here are a few of them:
3 Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.
4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.
The chapter continues to remind us that the gifts from God are many: wisdom, faith, healing, miracles, prophesy concerning all things.
And verse 18: And I would exhort you, my beloved brethren, that ye remember that every good gift cometh of Christ.
I know to some reading this that those verses will/might seem a bit cliché, but they are indeed the most effective means of understanding anything, not just the Book of Mormon. Remember, don't take any human being's word for it that anything is truth. Ask God for the confirmation of truth and, in His time, with your faith, it will be given to you.
Blessings to all....I'm so happy I have read the book. I'm sure I was suppose to do this a very long time ago...like 9th Grade. One of the blessings of growing old is a new found knowledge! I can do it!
