Alma 60

Not really knowing the circumstances that had beset Pahoran, Moroni wrote to him -

"...could ye suppose that ye could sit upon your thrones, and because of the exceeding goodness of God ye could do nothing and he would deliver you? Behold, if ye have supposed this ye have supposed in vain." (Book of Mormon Alma 60:11)

Moroni understood the condition that we -

"...should be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good works..." (Book of Mormon Mosiah 5:15)

For -

"...whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works..." (Book of Mormon Ether 12:4)

But this is not all, Moroni wrote to Pahoran -

"...do ye suppose that the Lord will still deliver us, while we sit upon our thrones and do not make use of the means which the Lord has provided for us?" (Book of Mormon Alma 60:21)

In our day, the Lord not only commands to always be abounding in good works, but to use the means he has provided us. The means could include -

• The Holy Ghost
• The Scriptures
• Handbooks of Instruction
• Technology

And the list goes on and on.
