“The Book of Mormon . . . was written for our day. The
Nephites never had the book; neither did the Lamanites of ancient times. It was
meant for us. . . . Under the inspiration of God, who sees all things from the
beginning, [Mormon] abridged centuries of records, choosing the stories,
speeches, and events that would be most helpful to us. . . .
“We should constantly ask ourselves, ‘Why did the Lord
inspire Mormon (or Moroni or Alma) to include that in his record? What lesson
can I learn from that to help me live in this day and age?”
Ezra Taft Benson, “The Book of Mormon—Keystone of Our
Religion,” Ensign, Nov. 1986, 6.
