Deep dives

Moroni's Reluctance and Purpose

Moroni initially believed his record-keeping work was complete after abridging the records of the Nephites and Jaredites. However, he was inspired to continue writing for the benefit of future generations, indicating that he foresees widespread apostasy and confusion about sacred ordinances. This decision reflects the understanding that even in times of despair and destruction, there may be important lessons and insights that can help guide future believers. Moroni’s contributions, particularly concerning sacrament and baptism, serve to solidify the teachings of Christ for those he presumes will face challenges in later times.
