In verse four the word took is so imprtant. To take upon yourself the name of Christ is no small thing and it will take an entire life and all that one has to become a disciple of Christ and truly represent his name as one should. Christ was the perfect example for all of us. Of course none of us can be perfect like he was but to feel that you honorably take his name upon you and truly represent what a disciple should be is priceless. That is when we are in harmony with God and hos gospel, we can only obtain this honorable disciplship through the atonement.

The Book of Mormon > Moroni > Chapter 6

Previous (Moro 5:1-2)             Next (Moro 6:6-9)

Questions

  • Is serving the Lord to the end (in verse 3) different from enduring to the end?
  • In practice what does it mean to require those getting baptized to have a determination to serve the Lord to the end? Is this still a precondition of baptism? If so, how does the Church today judge whether this condition has been met?
  • What does it mean to be "wrought upon" by the power of the Holy Ghost (verse 4)?
  • How is Christ the "finisher" of our faith (verse 4)?
  • At church we seem to talk a lot about concepts and programs, how much do we really talk about the "welfare" of our souls (verse 5)?

Lexical notes

  • The phrase "finisher of our faith" (v.4) comes from Heb 12:2. The term translated as finisher in the NT is the Greek noun teleiotes ("perfector") which comes from the Greek verb teleioo (to make perfect or complete, to accomplish or carry through completely, to add what is lacking to make something full).
