Testimonies on Sabbath-School Work
investigate truth for themselves. If they do not form the habit of inves-
tigating themes of truth for themselves, they will become superficial
in their life and acquirements. The opinions of your associates may
be of value to you, but you should not rely upon them and have no
definite ideas of your own. You should examine the truths you have
been led to believe, until you know that they are without a flaw. You
lose much when you do not bring every point of faith you hold to the
law and to the testimony, for you do not see or appreciate the truth as
it is. Oh, that all our youth might appreciate the privilege that God has
given! It is His will that you should go to the source of all light, and
receive the enlightenment of His Spirit (for this will be given to every
humble seeker for truth), and then you will know that the Spirit and the
Word agree, and know that you know what is truth. What assurance
this knowledge gives! You can then speak with power, proclaiming
what you have learned as truth, knowing that you have not followed
cunningly-devised fables.—
