For the benefit and betterment of His children who seek after Him, God, the Father, has ordained that holy gifts, wrought by His Spirit, should be the portion of the faithful among them. There are some who call these gifts, miracles. They are because we do not understand them. But those who do not believe in Christ, and have no faith in His Power-to excuse their unbelief-deny them. They loosely use the word, accidents. However, let us remember that they are really not so. They are the inspirations of God. His gifts are many, and Moroni says that they are administered in many different ways. God gives His gifts that His children may profit thereby. Surely, to the humble and true, they are almost inspiring, certainly inspiriting. But to the proud and haughty, "and he that shall deny these things, unto him will I show no greater things." (Jesus Christ, Ether 4:8)
"But to him that believeth these things which I have spoken, him will I visit with the manifestations of My Spirit, and he shall know and bear record. For because of My Spirit he shall know these things are true; for it persuadeth men to do good. And whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do good is of Me; for good cometh of none save it be of Me...." (Ether 4:11-12)
Further, the Lord said: "I am the same that leadeth men to all good." (Ibid., 4:12) Wherefore, we conclude that everything that is good, everything that is just and true, witnesseth that Christ is; that He lives, and the knowledge thereof is confirmed to the righteous by the Power of the Holy Ghost. The Power of the Holy Ghost, is also called by Moroni the Power of God (v. 7), which Power he exhorts be not denied, for by it, the Lord manifests the truth of all things even to the working of mighty miracles and in giving His precious gifts to the believer.
Moroni enumerates many of God's gifts, and assures us that "Every good gift cometh of Christ." (v. 8) Which thought leads us to another in which we can be comforted: "There is enough in revealed and natural religion to establish beyond a doubt the hope in Christ which we cherish. Let us accept His gifts with grateful hearts, and leave the mysteries surrounding them to that day, as we have said before, when the things we know not now, we shall know hereafter. Again, we are comforted by the knowledge that there is a wisdom we cannot fathom; there is a Power we cannot grasp. "For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith." (II Nephi 27:23) The working of miracles is a Heavenly Science, little understood by men. However, the Great Scientist of the Universe knows all, and there is nothing that He does not understand.
