“I Would Commend You to Seek This Jesus”

Brant Gardner

Moroni directly addresses the future readers of the text. He tells them to knock on the door. The grace of Christ is sufficient that we should understand this record, but it is sufficient only after we take that first and most important step. We must “seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have written.” If we do that “the grace of God the Father” will be given us, so that we may have faith in Jesus and God the Father. The Book of Mormon is a means of making that journey into faith and grace.

Textual: This is the end of the fifth chapter in the 1830 edition.
