1 Now I, Moroni, after having made an end of abridging the account of the people of Jared, I had supposed not to have written more, but I have not as yet perished; and I make not myself known to the Lamanites lest they should destroy me.Moroni's resolve was firmly set. He would rather die than deny his faith in Christ. No power on earth or in hell could shake him from his conviction. This is unshakable faith, and Moroni's life and death are proof that man can in fact obtain such faith. How it is achieved is another story entirely, but that it can be done is unmistakably certain.
2 For behold, their wars are exceedingly fierce among themselves; and because of their hatred they put to death every Nephite that will not deny the Christ.
3 And I, Moroni, will not deny the Christ; wherefore, I wander whithersoever I can for the safety of mine own life.
Moroni 1.
