Moroni 7:29-31

And because he hath done this, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased? Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither have angels ceased to minister unto the children of men. For behold, they are subject unto him, to minister according to the word of his command, showing themselves unto them of strong faith and a firm mind in every form of godliness. And the office of their ministry is to call men unto repentance, and to fulfil and to do the work of the covenants of the Father, which he hath made unto the children of men, to prepare the way among the children of men, by declaring the word of Christ unto the chosen vessels of the Lord, that they may bear testimony of him.

Much of the rest of Christianity understands angels to be some distinct class of beings, and has invested them with wings, originally symbolic of their speed in doing the work of the Lord. In fact, the gospel teaches us that angels are people like us, and that the angels that minister in this world have lived or will live on this earth as humans. I mention this to emphasize the fact that God does not work by magic, but his miracles and servants abide by eternal law which seems magic to us because we do not always understand the laws on which their behavior is based.

We should not expect to see a cessation of miracles in our lives, and it is appropriate in some circumstances to pray for miracles, whether it be healings, intervention on behalf of one who is wandering in sin, or other matters of import. God's concern extends to each of us, but His ability to help us depends upon our faith and our faithfulness. God does not expect us to be perfect, but He does expect us to be constant in seeking His help and His grace to aid us on our way.

Although miracles are given to bless the believers, we should not expect miraculous intervention in every matter about which we pray. If every prayer were miraculously answered it would actually prove to be a hindrance to the exercise of agency. And so we pray in faith, asking for the miracle, but we also work in faith to do as much as we can to provide the desired outcome.

Moroni 7:28

For he hath answered the ends of the law, and he claimeth all those who have faith in him; and they who have faith in him will cleave unto every good thing; wherefore he advocateth the cause of the children of men; and he dwelleth eternally in the heavens.

In the New Testament when the phrase "the law" appears it almost always refers to the law of Moses, and certainly Christ answered the ends of the law of Moses. However, in this case I do not believe that Mormon is referring only to the law of Moses, because Christ answered the ends of all law so that He could claim all those who have faith in Him. Because of the atonement of Christ we all belong to Him.

The depth of the relationship between Christ and His true disciples is profound. He changes our very nature so that we do not desire evil, but naturally cleave unto every good thing. Without that divine influence we are prone to be attracted to the things of the world, and lose our way. It is true that the rebirth in Christ whereby we reject all unrighteousness is not instantaneous, nor even necessarily monotonic. Even when we are embraced in His love if we do not watch ourselves, our deeds, our words, and desires, we have the agency to depart from Him and be enmeshed again in the cares of the world. We must avail ourselves of the gift of repentance continually, with the promise that if we do so Christ pleads our cause continually before the Father, and we can be restored to grace.

The great Plan of happiness is eternal, so we cannot comprehend its grandeur and extent. We can only approach the infinite through faith on One who does comprehend the infinite. However, as we do so minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, then year by year, Christ's grace is sufficient to cleanse us from the stains of this world, and mould us into Celestial beings, until we are prepared to live with Him and His Father eternally.

I testify to the efficacy of Christ's atonement. I also testify to the need to watch and pray always lest we fall into temptation. Finally, I testify to the completeness of God's plan, which encompasses human weakness and human desire, allowing us a space for learning and a space for repentance, so that eternal exaltation is within the grasp of all, and indeed He desires that all of us avail ourselves of this plan so that we may dwell with Him in eternal joy.
