This faith and hope makes us sure and steadfast, like an anchor of righteousness, always abounding in good works, which is how we glorify God!

And it came to pass that the days of Ether was in the days of Coriantumr, and Coriantumr was king over all the land. And Ether was a prophet of the Lord; wherefore, Ether came forth in the days of Coriantumr and began to prophesy unto the people, for he could not be constrained because of the spirit of the Lord which was in him (a sign of a true messenger from God). For he did cry from the morning even until the going down of the sun, exhorting the people to believe in God unto repentance lest they should be destroyed, saying unto them that by faith all things are fulfilled. Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God. And it came to pass that Ether did prophesy great and marvelous things unto the people, which they did not believe because they saw them not.

Moroni explains that faith is hope and belief in things which are unseen.
Faith is required to see Him, along with purity of heart.
In the same chapter: https://scriptures.info/scriptures/bofm/ether/5
Moroni prays for us (the Gentiles) that we may have charity, and receive grace from God. Jesus explains to Moroni, very few Gentiles will succeed in this process as they will need to humble themselves, asking Him to show them their weaknesses and the Gentiles will also need to be charitable. We (the proud Gentiles) will find both of these requirements very hard to accomplish.
During his farewell, Moroni repeats the message of the Book of Mormon, which is this: "I have seen Jesus and you may also see Him. I commend you to turn your life towards him (seek after Jesus), that you may receive of His grace".
