The Lamanites continued to destroy the Nephites and all those who would not deny the Christ. Moroni boldly stated, “I, Moroni, will not deny the Christ.”

As Moroni finished his record, he hoped to write a few more things that may be of worth in a future day. He recorded the way Christ organized the church. He taught that the disciples were ordained elders, and the elders ordained priests and teachers. He taught that the elders and priests should administer the sacrament, and he gave us the prayers to perform the sacrament ordinance. Moroni also wrote about the ordinances of baptism and the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. He explained the importance of meeting often as a church to be nourished by the good word of God. The restored Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is organized in this same way as the church in ancient America because it is Jesus Christ’s church.
