"Yea, there are many who do say: If thou wilt show unto us a sign from
heaven, then we shall know of a surety; then we shall believe. Now I
ask, is this faith? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for if a man knoweth
a thing he hath no cause to believe, for he knoweth it. And now as I
said concerning faith -- faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of
things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not
seen, which are true."
Alma 32:17-18,21
"But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an
experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even
if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you,
even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion
of my words. And now, behold, is your knowledge perfect? Yea, your
knowledge is perfect in that thing, and your faith is dormant; and
this because you know, for ye know that the word hath swelled your
souls, and ye also know that it hath sprouted up, that your
understanding doth begin to be enlightened, and your mind doth begin
to expand."
Alma 32:27,34
"And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I
would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for
and not seen; wherefore, dispute not becaue ye see not, for ye
receive no witness until after the trial of your faith."
Ether 12:6
"And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our
Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your
foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mightly winds,
yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his
mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to
drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the
rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation
whereon if men build they cannot fall."
Helaman 5:12
"For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of
men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a
little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an
ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn widsom; for unto him that
receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, We have
enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have."
2 Nephi 28:30
"Nevertheless, ye are blessed, for the testimony which ye have borne
is recorded in heaven for the angels to look upon; and they rejoice
over you, and your sins are forgiven you."
Doctrine & Covenants 62:3
