GEMS-Teachings: Be Not Faithless, But Believing

Gems from the Teachings of Church Leaders
Be Not Faithless, But Believing
—————————————————

“My solemn declaration to you is that the Father and the Son did in very fact appear to the Prophet Joseph Smith, himself a young man called by God from your very age group. I testify that these divine beings spoke to him, that he heard Their eternal voices, and he saw Their glorified bodies. (See Joseph Smith—History 1:24-25.) That experience was as real in its own setting as the Apostle Thomas’s was when the Savior said to him, ‘Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: . . . be not faithless, but [be] believing’ (John 20:27).”
