Is Mormonism True: Fruits of Mormonism

If you read the earlier post about the 17 points of the true church, you noticed that the last point was a bit vague in saying merely, “By their fruits ye shall know them. (Matt 7:20).”  We also discussed this passage in an earlier post referring to Jesus’ method to discern between true and false prophets.  This brings us to the question–what are the fruits of Mormonism?

The obvious first answer is the Book of Mormon.  The line of logic is clear–if the Book of Mormon is the word of God, then Joseph Smith was a divinely-called prophet, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  By similar logic, if the Book of Mormon is not the word of God, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not the true church of Christ.

Knowing that, does it make more sense why Mormon missionaries are always trying to get people to read the Book of Mormon?  Everything depends on it!  There is no middle ground–either the LDS Church is all it purports to be or else it’s just another Christian denomination with some false teachings.  With such weight relying on this book, one would think that every religious (and non-religious) person in the world would be anxious to read the Book of Mormon and find out whether it’s true or not.  Instead, most rely on the word of their preacher or pastor and never even read a page.  What a tragedy.

What was the last book you read?  Was it one that could ultimately answer the question of salvation?  If not, I’d encourage you to read the Book of Mormon.  And as I have encouraged countless times already on here, find out for yourself whether it’s true by praying and asking God.
