“A Covenant That They Will Maintain Their Rights and Their Religion”

Brant Gardner

The covenant Moroni proposes is personal righteousness to operationalize the promise of Yahweh’s protection over the promised land. There can be no other interpretation of the covenant. The people were to covenant to be righteous, to follow the Nephite gospel, and by their righteousness to evoke Yahweh’s promise and protection.
