I Know the Gospel...

I Know the Gospel...

.

[Seminary-Notes] ==================================== FOR YOUR INFORMATION... ====================================    In a 14 July 1981 devotional at Brigham Young University, Robert J. Matthews (who was serving as the dean of Religious Instruction), shared a comment written in 1969 by Elder Hugh B. Brown, one of the Twelve Apostles: I am impressed with the testimony of a man who can stand and say he knows the gospel is true. What I would like to ask is, "But, sir, do you know the gospel?" I say it is one thing to know the gospel is true, and it is another  thing to know what the gospel is. Mere testimony can be gained with but perfunctory knowledge of the Church and its teachings, as evidenced by the hundreds who are now coming into the Church with but bare acquaintanceship. But to retain a testimony, to be of service in building the Lord's kingdom, requires a serious study of the gospel and knowing what it is. Our responsibility this coming year is to help our students better learn and live the gospel -- not just to know that the gospel is true.
