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.”
