President Ezra Taft Benson declared "The Book of Mormon brings men to Christ". In this declaration, he reaffirmed the fundamental importance of the Book of Mormon in the salvation of humankind. From its beginning to its conclusion, it bears witness of Christ and teaches about his atonement that makes possible "the plan of mercy". (Alma 42:15,23)
Through this plan we can be delivered from the power of Satan and our own imperfection.
Throughout the Book of Mormon, the prophets urge everyone to come unto Christ (see 1Nephi 6:4 13:40, 2Nephi 9:45, 51:26:33 Jacob 1:7 6:5 Omni 1:26 Alma 5:34-35 3Nephi 12:20 Mormon 9:27,29).
The last Prophet to make this plea was Moroni.
In the final chapter of the Book of Mormon before he sealed up the plates from which it was translated, Moroni invited "all the ends of the earth...[to] come unto Christ and be perfected in him" (Moroni 10:24,32).
However, Moroni 10 is more then just an invitation. Through a series of exhortations, Moroni teaches us how to come unto Christ, and he also gives insight into the power of God that perfects and sanctifies those who do come unto him.
