GEMS-Teachings: It Is Our Privilege and Our Responsibility to Know

Gems from the Teachings of Church Leaders
It Is Our Privilege and Our Responsibility to Know
—————————————————

Each of us, members and sincere investigators alike, can know with surety
that these things [the teachings of the restored gospel] are true.
It is our great privilege to know. It is more than a privilege; it is our
responsibility to know. It is our enormous loss to not know when such a
privilege is given. . . . We do not need to rely upon intellect or our
physical senses. We study, we pray, and, like Alma of old, we may even
fast, and then comes a still, small voice and a throbbing heart. Imagine a
personal revelation from God that these things are true. The very thought
of it makes my heart throb.”

Topics: Restoration, knowledge, responsibility, revelation
