WEEK 50: SUMMARY

=================

Lesson Summary:

In Moroni chapters 7 through 9, Mormon, Moroni's father, writes about the principles of faith, hope, and charity, highlighting charity as the pure love of Christ that is essential for salvation. Mormon shares a sermon on discerning good from evil, encouraging us to judge righteously by the light of Christ. Additionally, he provides insight into the challenges faced by the Nephites and Lamanites during their wars, urging his son Moroni to remain faithful and strong despite witnessing widespread wickedness and despair. Mormon's letters to Moroni include counsel and expressions of his deep love for him, emphasizing the need to endure in faith, even amid difficult circumstances. Throughout these chapters, themes of love, obedience, and resilience during adversity are prominent.

Moroni 7:12-13 | What’s the difference between inviting and enticing? How do you see the adversary using those tactics? How does the Lord use them to help us use our agency for good?

Moroni 8:3 | Why does Mormon use this title for Christ here? We don’t often think of the Christ child as powerful. Is there a connection to his teachings about children in the rest of the chapter?

Moroni 9 | If past feeling is the far end of the spectrum, what is on the other end? What does this term teach you about the character and nature of God?
