One of the three reasons Mormon explains as to why he wrote this abridgement of the Nephite record we know as the Book of Mormon.
That ye may know that ye must all stand before the judgment-seat of Christ … to be judged of your works, whether they be good or evil.
That ye may believe the gospel of Jesus Christ
