Moroni’s Greatness
The contrast between Moroni and men like Zerahemnah and Amalickiah is dramatic. Moroni had exhibited leadership qualities throughout his life and was appointed to lead the Nephite armies when he was only twenty-five. The following are some of the keys to Moroni’s greatness:- He sought for, obtained, and heeded the word of the Lord given through the living prophet (see Alma 43:23–26).
- He was vitally concerned for the welfare of those who served under his command (see vv. 18–21, 48:7–10, 49:18–20, 50:1–4).
- He used strategy to overcome his enemies (see Alma 43:27–35).
- He was firm for the right, yet quick to forgive (see Alma 44:1–20).
- He was patriotic in spirit and prayerful in attitude (see Alma 46:11–20).
- He was a noble man, a man of God (see Alma 48:11–18).
