Even if we have not seen angels or handled the gold plates, we can still bear witness of the Book of Mormon.
If someone asked why you believe the Book of Mormon is true, what would you say?
President Ezra Taft Benson gave the following invitation to Church members in 1988:
βThe Book of Mormon is the instrument that God designed to βsweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out [His] elect.β (Moses 7:62.) This sacred volume of scripture needs to become more central in our preaching, our teaching, and our missionary work.
ββ¦ In this age of the electronic media and the mass distribution of the printed word, God will hold us accountable if we do not now move the Book of Mormon in a monumental way.
βWe have the Book of Mormon, we have the members, we have the missionaries, we have the resources, and the world has the need. The time is now!
βMy beloved brothers and sisters, we hardly fathom the power of the Book of Mormon, nor the divine role it must play, nor the extent to which it must be movedβ (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Ezra Taft Benson [2014], 143β44).
