The Power of Personal Testimony

Church Educational System

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles explained one way to respond to an anti-Christ:

“Korihor ridiculed the ‘foolish … [and] silly traditions’ of believing in a Christ who should come.
“Korihor’s arguments sound very contemporary to the modern reader, but Alma used a timeless and ultimately undeniable weapon in response—the power of personal testimony. Angry that Korihor and his like were essentially against happiness, [Giddonah, the high priest] asked, ‘Why do you teach this people that there shall be no Christ, to interrupt their rejoicings?’ [Alma 30:22] ‘I know there is a God’” (Christ and the New Covenant [1997], 121).
