"In other words, when you are trying to verify the truth of gospel principles, you must first live them. Put gospel doctrine and Church teachings to the test in your own life. Do it with real intent and enduring faith in God."
"If you will do these things, you have a promise from God—who is bound by His word11—that
He will manifest the truth to you by the power of the Holy Ghost. He
will grant you greater light that will allow you to look through the
darkness and witness unimaginably glorious vistas incomprehensible to
mortal sight."
"Some may say that the steps are too
hard or that they are not worth the effort. But I suggest that this
personal testimony of the gospel and the Church is the most important
thing you can earn in this life. It will not only bless and guide you
during this life, but it will also have a direct bearing on your life
throughout eternity" ("Receiving a Testimony of Light and Truth," General Conference, Oct 2014).
