How can I know this is true?
“I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.”
Book of Mormon, Moroni 10:4
Decision by Faith - Jennifer
(1:30)
This is not a decision that is made with just your head. I knew that God told me that Mormonism was true. I had asked God and He told me. I knew it in my heart. I felt that it was true.
Darshan - Understanding Prayer

Prayer has to be more than just repetition; it should be an actual, real conversation with God. If you ask God questions, He will confirm what is true. This is how I learned that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormon Church) is Jesus Christ's restored Church.
Sue instructs you to pray to know that The Book of Mormon is true
(0:58)
Sue first read the Book of Mormon when she was 15 years old and was excited to know that there was more scripture that teaches of Jesus Christ. She prayed to learn that the book was true.
Your Heavenly
Father is the source of all truth. He loves you and wants
to answer your questions. Therefore, He will help you
recognize the truth as you sincerely seek it and ask Him for
guidance. You can know if the things you are learning are
true if you ask your Heavenly Father in prayer. He desires
for you to know the truth, and you can receive an answer
from Him through the Holy Ghost. As taught in the Bible,
“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, [and] temperance”
(
As the Savior
taught in the Bible, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek,
and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you
(
The last prophet
of the Book of
Mormon, a man named Moroni, gave this remarkable promise
to anyone who wants to know whether the Book of Mormon is
true: “And when ye shall receive these things, I would
exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the
name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye
shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having
faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you,
by the power of the Holy
Ghost” (
You can discover for yourself that what you’ve been learning is true by:
- Sincerely praying to your Heavenly Father and asking Him if what you are learning is true.
- Continuing to study and give thoughtful consideration to what you are learning.
- Listening with your heart for the Holy Ghost to whisper the truth to you.
- Following God’s commandments so you can feel the influence of the Holy Ghost.
