I've talked a lot about how Mormons are Christians, and how our scriptures have numerous references to Christ being the savior. In this passage, Moroni seems to understand that the overall tone of the book of Mormon can be a bit of a downer. After all, each civilization listed has been destroyed, there has been numerous wars and deaths all around him, and well, yes you can see how it might sort of a buzzkill.
Moroni here is reminding future readers of the book of Mormon to have faith in Christ, and not let the world surrounding them get them down. It's an incredibly wise and insightful comment and sadly, the words are just as meaningful today as they were back in the time of Moroni.
