“Lay Hold Upon Every Good Thing”

Study carefully what Mormon teaches in Moroni 7:20–26, for in these verses is found one of the most important keys to righteousness. That key is faith. What makes faith possible? Mormon lists the following:

1. God’s knowledge of all things (see v. 22).
2. The ministering of angels, which is one way in which the knowledge and authority of God comes to man (see vv. 22, 25).
3. The reality of Christ (see v. 22).
4. The prophets of God (see v. 23).

All of these teach us of the goodness of Christ. This leads us to faith and prayer, which then enable us to “lay hold upon every good thing” (vv. 25–26).
