"We live in marvelous times, yet also an hour when peace has been taken from the earth. To prosper in these times, spiritual light must burn within us.
Latter-day Saints obtain this spiritual light by learning true doctrine, gaining a pure testimony and living the gospel courageously.
President Henry B. Eyring has taught that the words of doctrine 'can open the minds of people to see spiritual things not visible to the natural eye. And they can open the heart to feelings of the love of God and a love for truth.'"
"A pure testimony is the confirmation by the Holy Ghost that God is our Father and that Jesus is the Christ.
"The light and truth we see in all things urge us to obtain knowledge by study and faith, which precede the confirmation by the spirit.
"We can learn much of God's handiwork and goodness by our physical senses. But an even deeper testimony is revealed as we spiritually seek the truth with real intent."
Latter-day Saints must live courageously in accordance with the light and testimony they have received.
"We are promised ... 'He that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day.'
"It takes real effort and sacrifice to live the gospel courageously."
