Today we continue our study of the Come Follow Me materials for this week. We consider the importance of faith leading to true repentance and we reflect on the role of agency in God's plan.
John W Welch: “Elder John A. Widtsoe taught that evidence can remove honest doubt and give assurances that build faith. ‘After proper inquiries, using all the powers at our command,’ he said, ‘the weight of evidence is on one side or the other. Doubt is removed.’ ‘Doubt of the right kind—that is, honest questioning—leads to faith’ and ‘opens the door to truth,’ for where there is doubt, faith cannot thrive. Elder Joseph Fielding Smith likewise affirmed that evidence, as convincing as in any court in the land, proves ‘beyond the possibility of doubt that Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery spoke the truth.’”
