Mormon, as an authorized servant of Jesus Christ, presents to the Gentiles of the latter days the words and warning of his Master. It is a call to repentance, a call to forsake the sins of the world (compare 3 Nephi 16:10) and embrace the religion of Jesus Christ, who is God over all. It is a call to be baptized, to receive the sanctifying powers of the Holy Ghost, and to be numbered among those who are truly of the house of Israel, those who receive and abide by the terms and conditions of the new and everlasting covenant.
