How do LDS know that the book of Mormon is true? It's partially because of this scripture. Mormons believe that we can know things a priori, through revelation. Even for other religious people, this might be hard to believe. After all, how can you "just know" that something is from God instead of just something that you want to believe?
It's a fair question, and one that believers in the LDS church answer with this passage sometimes. If you believe in the book of Mormon, and then logically-Mormonism-you believe that you can achieve this kind of knowledge. This scripture is a reminder to believing Mormons that we can still attain knowledge via pure revelation. Kant would be proud.
