Moroni's Promise

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moroni's Promise generally refers to a promise made in the Book of Mormon by the prophet Moroni.

This promise is made in Moroni 10:3-5.

3 Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.

4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.

These verses are usually used by Mormon missionaries in dealing with potential converts; they are invited to read and follow the advice given, of praying to ask whether the Book of Mormon (and by extension, the LDS Church) is true.
