“Moroni knew firsthand about having hope in Christ during
tribulation. He explained his harrowing situation: ‘I am alone. I have not whither
to go.’ ‘I make not myself known lest they should destroy me.’ Remarkably, in
this dark and lonely hour, Moroni records his father’s words of hope: ‘If a man
have faith he must needs have hope; for without faith there cannot be any hope.’
‘Ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his
resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal.’ Hope is a living gift, a gift
that grows as we increase our faith in Jesus Christ. Faith is the substance of
things hoped for. We build this substance—the evidence blocks of our
faith—through prayer, temple covenants, keeping the commandments, continually
feasting on the scriptures and the words of modern-day prophets, taking the
sacrament, serving others, and worshipping weekly with our fellow Saints.” – Elder
Neil L. Andersen
