Pure testimony breaks down barriers nothing else can. I've seen it happen over and over again throughout my mission. People may question intellectually what you teach, but it's difficult to refute sincere, humble, pure testimony.
One of the many reasons I look forward to church each Sunday is for the opportunity to hear pure testimony from fellow Christians. My faith in Jesus Christ is strengthened when I listen to others describe their faith in Him. My love for the Savior and for my fellow men increases as I feel the Spirit which always accompanies sincere testimony.
Here are some thoughts—some pure pieces of testimony—I heard at church today:
- Prayer is your personal key to heaven. The lock is on your side of the veil
- The windows of heaven cannot be opened to you if your heart is not filled with the love of Christ
- Great men are not always wise. Spiritually you may know not, and know not that you know not
