"Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God.
And again, if ye by the grace of God are perfect in Christ, and deny not his power, then are ye sanctified in Christ by the grace of God, through the shedding of the blood of Christ, which is in the covenant of the Father unto the remission of your sins, that ye become holy, without spot." (Moroni 10:32-33)
The Young Men General Presidency commented on this verse saying, "This is a sacred invitation to draw near to the Son of God. Because of
His Atonement, we can gain the power to serve, to deny ourselves of
ungodly things in our lives, and to feel His infinite love. As we do so,
we will find true peace and happiness." (Come Unto Christ) Here, one of the last thing Moroni tells us to do is to come unto
Christ. He promises that if we do, his grace is sufficient that we may
be perfected through him.
As we go through life we can come unto Christ as we exercise faith in him. We can also come unto Christ as we look for that which is good "for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ" (Moroni 7:16) As we look to Christ in our lives, exercise faith, are obedient, continually repent we come unto Christ. This can help us to find happiness be perfected in him.
I know that the Book of Mormon is a testament of Christ that can help us to come unto Christ. This book helps serve as a testament of Him.
As we come unto Christ we can be better than we were yesterday. We can learn and be perfected through His Atonement. We can find peace in this life and in the next as we come unto Christ.
