For Our Day

Reading the Book of Mormon this time I have been impressed with how much the book is tailored to our day. Near the end of the book Mormon and Moroni seem to know that their civilization's time is up and include several messages specifically to us in our day.  This book helps us to know of our relationship to God and his love for us. It warns us of spiritual dangers that we face today. In Mormon 8 Mormon warns that "there shall be many who will say, Do this, or do that, and it mattereth not, for the Lord will uphold such at the last day." (Mormon 8: 31) These and other spiritual dangers are shown to teach and warn guide us of them to help us today.

If we follow the teachings contained in the Book of Mormon I know that we will be safe from these dangers. Elder Holland testified, "God always provides safety for the soul, and with the Book of Mormon, He has again done that in our time." (Safety for the Soul) I know that the Book of Mormon can help us as we study it and that it does provide us safety and comfort in our lives.
