Remember God Is the Same Yesterday, Today, and Forever (Sixth Exhortation)

John W. Welch

Moroni’s sixth exhortation is to remember that God always remains the same, meaning he is constant in keeping his covenants. God’s promises are sure—he will keep his side of the bargain.

Covenants are a very important focus of the Book of Mormon. Covenants are mentioned in the title page of this book of scripture. One of the main reasons the entire record was written was so people will know God’s covenants and will know that God is the same today as he was when he made each covenant. Moroni’s themes fold back on each other.

President Spencer W. Kimball was fond of teaching that the most important word in the dictionary could be “remember.” Kimball believed that “because we have made covenants with God, our greatest need is to ‘remember’ them.”
